Five months ago, on March 9, 2024, a group of six backcountry skiers became stranded on the Tête Blanche while on the traverse from Zermatt to Evolène in Switzerland on a route that is part of the Haute Route. The weather changed, and the group became disoriented and set off a distress call, but conditions were unsafe for search and rescue teams to get to them. The following day, the bodies of four people were found in a small cave the group managed to dig, and a fifth person was found near the cave. However, the sixth skier, the female who had sent the distress call, could not be located. Her backpack and skis were found in the cave, so hopes of finding her alive were extremely low. Search and rescue searched for the sixth skier for four days but abandoned the active search on March 14.

The president of the Navajo Nation unsuccessfully attempted to stop two semi trucks from hauling uranium through tribal land this week. Back in 2012, the Navajo Nation passed the Radioactive and Related Substances Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act. This act technically banned the transport of uranium through the tribe’s reservation, but is not legally enforceable on highways due to a technicality, reported KJZZ.

Good afternoon everyone. We continue to have beautiful conditions in the Northeast courtesy of strong high pressure keeping a stationary front well to our south. That front will eventually make it back as a warm front, then a sweeping cold front will help protect the Northeast and East Coast as a whole from what-will-be Hurricane Ernesto.
