According to the article, there is no word on what injuries the woman has, but we hope and pray the woman recovers well as we wish the other skiers the same as well. Special thanks to the Teton County SAR teams and others for rescuing the skiers from the avalanche. To add a side note, when you or a group are traveling to the mountains, please make sure to always wear warm, comfortable clothes and gear, and also, please stay away from areas that may cause an avalanche. And as always, please be safe everyone!
