As a snowboard journalist and snowboard safety advocate, Lauren Traub Teton has been tracking snowboard deaths on her website www.SnowboardSecrets.com for years. She feels this information should be brought to light, not swept under the rug, in hopes that these tragic snow deaths can be reduced or eliminated. Less serious but worthy of consideration are the non-fatal accidents that occur on snow and Ms. Teton says knowledge is power toward making time on the snow safer for all.

A deadly start to the 2008 season saw several avalanche fatalities in the first 10 days of January. Sole says that despite the tragedies, the season ended not much above average. “It was a bad year for avalanches and it took people a week or so to wake up to that and start taking proper precautions. The average person, however, was not at increased risk,” he said.

Off-piste casualties cast a shadow over Alpine ski resorts
British doctor's accident takes toll to 30 fatalities this year
http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/feb/09/skiing
"Twenty-nine other skiers and snowboarders have been killed in the Alps this year - a number ski professionals believe is worryingly high. Monica Davis, 35, from Derbyshire, went off-piste in Germany last month and fell into a canyon. Her frozen body was found the next morning. A third Briton, David Monk, 46, from Hertfordshire, was killed after using a piece of ski barrier to sledge down a mountain in the Italian Alps.
In France, at current rates, the death toll will exceed that of last year. In the past three months, there were eight deaths and countless near misses. Yet attempts to educate mountain users in the dangers of "hors piste" are falling on deaf ears."
