Well I was skiing on at Telluride in miserable conditions when this happened:

If they would of waited 2 hours it would of been VFR. It was full on snowing, 1 mile or less vis. Also IFR takeoff min's require 1000' per min climb and I don't think that plane would have that from Telluride. He was a pilot for US Airways and she was for United..

Sad day for the families, another good lesson for the rest of us.

RIP

All the best to those affected. Damn. Preventable.

sad

Terrible and so preventable.

I was in Crested Butte the same day and heard a single piston plane fly over in the clouds and snow. Thought glad its not me in that plane! I hope I don't ever get to the point that flying doesn't scare me a little.

Prayers for all involved.
