3 skiers recovered alive from separate weekend avalanches near Pemberton
Three groups of skiers were struck by separate avalanches in the Pemberton area Saturday , fully burying one person and partially burying two.
The first reported avalanche came down around 1:15 p.m. A party of three skiers accidentally triggered a thin wind slab, carrying one of them downhill through trees and burying them in about 40 to 100 centimetres of snow. The avalanche was classified as a 2.0, enough to “bury, injure or kill a person,” according to Avalanche Canada.
