That same spot has avalanches every year. The access is too easy and gets hit all the time. Terrible news that it keeps happening over and over again in the same spots.

Re: Avalanche fatality Berthoud Pass
We were out skiing in the area yesterday and conditions were super touchy. Lots of whumpfing but we had loads of fun playing around on low angle terrain in untracked powder. Be safe out there.
