SICAMOUS, B.C. — An avalanche has taken the life of another snowmobiler in British Columbia’s Interior, the region’s second such incident within the past week.

Rescue crews recovered the body of a man trapped in a snow slide near Crowfoot Mountain, about 90 kilometres northeast of Kamloops.

A spokeswoman for the coroners’ service says the man was part of a group of three snowmobilers.

Shuswap Search and Rescue manager John Schut says three avalanche technicians were deployed to the site after crews were notified around 11:45 Sunday morning.
