Special thanks to the SAR teams, mentioned in the article, for their amazing efforts in rescuing the snowmobilers, as we wish them a speedy reocvery from their injuries. Since winter is upon us, there may be people who are planning to travel to the mountains to break out their snowboards on the mountains. If that is you, please make sure you are wearing the appropriate outfit when traveling up the mountains, such as wearing snow boots that are appropriate for the mountains, and wear bundles of jackets as well. If there is a sign that says not to pass a certain boundary or an avalanche might be triggered, turn around and don't pass the line. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
