On April 19, 2016, I filmed Gary Falk giving an avalanche safety talk and beacon check. This is the raw video. That day we were filming backcountry skiing for an upcoming San Juan Mountain Guides marketing video to be released this summer.
Sadly, Gary was killed three months later while guiding clients in the Grand Tetons.
Currently, about $170,000 has been raised in a GoFundMe account to help Gary’s wife and two small children. The goal is $200,000 so we are only $30,000 away!
Please share this video…. then help to support Gary’s family at gofundme.com/2g5jqkk.
