On December 14, 2008, one year ago, UFS member Heather Gross was caught in an inbound avalanche while skiing on North Baldy at Snowbird. She died later that day at the University of Utah hospital from injuries sustained during the avalanche. UFS remembers Heather and the enthusiasm she had for our sport.
