“The night before last my son came home…he had nearly been killed after a snowmobiling avalanche incident. He had been with some friends enjoying B.C.’s spectacular mountain scenery when the backcountry snowpack broke, burying him alive. Miraculously, his friend dug him out—they were well prepared for the risk, wearing avalanche beacons.
“After he was rescued and his injuries assessed, I’m sure it hit him…it certainly hit me as he came home and told us about it.
“I do NOT want to lose my son, I CAN’T. I am extremely grateful that my son is alive and I have not lost him. My son that means more to me than life!
“Please, please, tell people to be careful and be prepared if they are venturing into backcountry.
“No family member should have to go through such an experience…or worse.”
