I was not aware of the bus incident or the snowmobilers- I will follow both stories now though!

In my opinion, the increased media attention may be a combination of the two reasons you cited. After all it is winter. It would seem that more bad things happen outdoors this time of year. Example: Look at the national coverage the MT. Hood tragedies got.

Accidents and "events" can, of course, happen at any time of the year, but there are way more variables during the winter.

We always say "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst".

Note: Because there seems to be some interest in following these sorts of events, I've created a separate space to report some missteps and successes in the out doors. Please see "Outdoor Incidents" to read about or report them.
