The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek: Disaster on the Mountain | The New York Times

An avalanche was triggered at about noon in the Tunnel Creek section of Stevens Pass, located at the border of King County and Chelan County in Washington, USA. A snow storm 3 days prior dumped 32 inches there, which resulted in an unstable snow pack disrupted by skiers. There were 3 victims and one injured person.
