Dual concern after deadly avalanche near McBride
KAMLOOPS — After last weeks deadly avalanche that claimed the lives of five men near McBride, the B.C. Coroners Service and Avalanche Canada are issuing a joint statement on the need to ‘know before you go’.
Last Friday over a dozen snowmobilers were riding in the Mounta Renshaw Recreational site when an avalanche was triggered, killing five.
Experts say what’s more important that knowing how to respond in the event of an avalanche is knowing how to prevent a slide from occurring in the first place.
