I do feel bad when it seems needless. Lost a good friend to an avalanche in an avalanche-prone area, in dangerous conditions (weak layer in the snow from earlier in the season, big wet dump on top, turns into a slab slide so easily). He could and should have known better. He’s at peace now, as are those of us left behind. I just miss my friend.
