A lawsuit was filed against Heavenly Mountain Resort by Chanel Whalen after her husband, an experienced snowboarder, suffocated under snow following a blizzard. The suit claims that the resort's actions, including triggering controlled avalanches without warning, created conditions that concealed the dangers of the fresh, loose snow. It asserts the resort's negligence in failing to ensure safety and properly inform guests of the heightened risks, which contributed to her husband's death, labeling it an "unnecessary and preventable tragedy."
The lawsuit claims Heavenly Resort concealed dangers by triggering an avalanche without adequate warning, heightening the risk for experienced snowboarders like Wesley Whalen.
The complaint asserts that the controlled avalanche 'blasting' created a misleading solid snow top, obscuring the actual risk of sinking in deep snow.
