2 more avalanche fatalities in W Canada in the last week, not yet on avalanche. org or avalanche.ca. One involving a film crew near Bella Coola/ Tweedsmuir Park and the other in Banff NP, Mt. Deltaform. A close call on Mt. James Turner near Whistler the other day as well. That's 8 now for the season-time to not let your guard down!
correction, Mt. Deltaform in Kootenay NP. Mountaineer killed while descending after successfully ascending Super Couloir route with partner. Have heard partner was on the debris for 3 days with serious injury.
