East Vail Avalanche Kills Grandson of Vail's Co-Founder
This week Vail Valley is mourning the loss of Tony Seibert, grandson of Vail co-founder Pete Seibert, who died yesterday after being caught in an avalanche in the East Vail Chutes area that also swept away the three other members of his party, including professional skier Rebecca Selig. One other member of the party was injured as well, and the group required assistance of a search and rescue team to navigate the victims through the area’s tricky terrain.
