A snowboarder is being blamed for triggering an avalanche on Mt. Jumbo that destroyed a home in the Missoula, Montana neighborhood of Rattlesnake Valley, burying three people, according to a story on Mail Online.
The avalanche on Friday roared down Mount Jumbo and through a neighborhood northeast of downtown Missoula, several blocks from the University of Montana. . . The three people remained hospitalized Saturday, a day after the avalanche slid down 4,768-foot Mount Jumbo into the northeast Missoula neighborhood, a St. Patrick Hospital spokeswoman said. . . Fred Allendorf, 66, a retired professor from the University of Montana, is in serious condition while his wife, Michel Colville, is in critical condition, hospital spokeswoman JoAnn Hoven said. . . The avalanche was 1,800 feet long and about 300 feet wide at the crown, said Steve Karkanen, director of the Missoula-based West Central Montana Avalanche Center. It came down a 35-degree slope and was then funneled into a gully, where it picked up energy, he said.
Sadly, Michel Colville, 68, has died from her injuries according to a story in the Missoulian.
Michel Colville, 68, was in her home when the slide hit the residence, burying her for nearly three hours before she was found by rescuers. She died Sunday night.
Our thoughst are with her entire family, especially her husband.

Mick Fanning survived his round two head against 2014 Quik Pro Gold Coast trials winner Matt Banting, but Jordy Smith and 2John Florence were not so lucky in their round two heats against Tiago Pires (above) and Travis Logie.
“It (the competition) can be cruel at times, but it can also give you the greatest thrill of your life,” Smith said. “In the heat before me it was super consistent and around the five minute mark of our heat there was a few waves, but after that it switched off. I had two mid-range scores, and I waited for the next one for 16 minutes and it never came. I feel like my surfing was on point, but the ocean didn’t deliver. Today wasn’t my day. You have to move on.”
There are still four heats left to surf in round two so they haven’t all moved on yet. For the official, though somewhat abbreviated, word from the ASP including results and Roxy Pro , follow the jump. [click to continue…]
