    Homeboy should've died out there with his wife.  Weak ass motherfucker.  Shut down the search and rescue teams, that's obviously the best way to make sure nobody gets stuck out there again.

    I don't know who got it wrong in the article, but they make it sound like they were inbounds....

     

    I'm pretty sure I have my facts straight and they were not inbounds

    You've got it right, they were out of bounds.

    All the article says is "lost while skiing from the top of a lift within the resort on Feb. 15" -kind of ambiguous.

    Could simply be read as they started at the top of the lift (within the resort) - it doesn't mean that they weren't out of bounds when they got lost.

    “Golden Search and Rescue and the RCMP heard (Blackburn and wife Marie Josee-Fortin’s) cries for help and they did nothing.”


    I find this really, really hard to believe. I don't care what kind of bureaucratic red tape is involved, if a S&R or RCMP heard cries for help they would definitely not do nothing.
