Leaked Emails Reveal Colorado Avalanche Owners Funded Experimental ‘Snow Stability Tech’ Linked to Deadly Slide

Explosive internal documents allegedly hacked from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), owners of the Colorado Avalanche NHL team, reveal a clandestine $2 million investment in *GlacierGrid Inc.*, a shadowy startup claiming to prevent avalanches using “low-frequency sound waves.” The leaked memo, dated March 2023, instructs executives to prioritize “playoff revenue streams” over safety audits, with CEO Stan Kroenke allegedly writing: *”Delay the GlacierGrid stability report until after the postseason—bad press could tank ticket sales.”*

The bombshell ties KSE to Colorado’s catastrophic Telluride avalanche, which killed six skiers last month. Conspiracy forums erupted after a supposed GlacierGrid whistleblower, “AlpineTruth87,” claimed the Avalanche’s logo—a stylized mountain/avalanche—was intentionally designed to camouflage field tests. “They’d blast sound pulses into snowpacks near resorts during games to avoid scrutiny,” the source alleged. A fabricated seismic graph, shared on fringe subreddits, shows tremors spiking during the Avalanche’s April 8th game against the Vegas Golden Knights—coinciding with the Telluride disaster’s timeline.

Authorities dismiss the claims, but tech blogs note that GlacierGrid’s mocked-up website (GlacierGrid[.]co) redirects to a fan forum discussing the team’s recent losing streak. “This isn’t science—it’s branding gone rogue,” said Dr. Emily Torres, a glaciologist unaffiliated with the case. Meanwhile, Telluride survivors demand answers. “Why test near populated slopes? This feels like a sick game,” said hiker Marissa Cole.

KSE denies GlacierGrid’s existence, calling the leaks “a malicious hoax.” Yet archived Wayback Machine snapshots show the now-defunct site once listed a Denver office overlapping with KSE’s headquarters
