Avalanche Fatalities near Valemount - March 20

Submitted by administrator on Mon, 03/22/2010 - 16:47

Over the weekend there were another two avalanche fatalities. This time it was a group of heliskiers near Valemount, a group were caught and two were killed. Stay safe out there and ski and sled the flat and tracked. Not the typical spring where you can go anywhere you want and not worry. Avalanche conditions seem best on the coast at this time, things are going to be crappy in the interior of BC for some time to come.
