>>2540145How could influencer wannabes getting killed by avalanches possibly be a bad thing? It's fantastic. That's the last year they'll be around to annoy you. The collateral casualties knew the risk they were taking when they entered avalanche country, and it really doesn't matter if the YouTubers triggered any of them because avalanches can ride 'em cowboy without warning any old time. It's not like it's safer for whoever happens to be nearby if the avalanche yippie-ki-yays on its own.
Winter is a garbage season that shouldn't exist, and people who do winter sports and /out/ are fucking insane, but I do respect mountaineers because of the technical skill and hardships inherent in their sport, and because no one bitches and whines when they get mowed down by a serac, step into a crevasse, fall literal kilometers down the face of a mountain, etc. It's one of the most honorable and badass ways to die. But people who go out on the absolute trash season that God thought up while he was taking a drunk shit, and then bitch about the consequences... shut the fuck up and go be a corpsicle somewhere else.
