Ah yes, it's winter. And here we go:

Two skiers in British Columbia went out-of-bounds and got themselves into a very dangerous avalanche zone.

They are not known to be experienced in wilderness survival.

They have been communicating by SMS (text message).

North Shore Rescue (local SAR with a pretty good rep.) has determined that it is far too dangerous to risk people to get to them until morning. (Correct call, IMO.)

These two individuals are going to have a very cold, unpleasant night. Hope they make it out alive.
