Perry's Peak: Lessons from Tragedy

Lauren and I headed up to Donner Summit for a Fall hike out towards Perry's Peak, the site of the tragic and historic avalanche in February 2026 that claimed the lives of 9 skiers making their way out from the Frog Lake Huts. We wanted to see and feel the spot for ourselves, and take the time to reflect once more on the incident and hopefully learn from the experience. RIP all the people who didn't make it. Full details of the incident including maps and photos were documented by the Sierra Avalanche Center, and can be found at the links below: https://avalanche.org/avalanche-accid... https://www.sierraavalanchecenter.org...
