8th Canada avalanche victim found
FERNIE, B.C. — The eighth and ultimate carcass was found Tuesday from a group of snowmobilers buried by weekend avalanches in western Canada’s backcountry, police reported.
The bodies of the man’s seven companions were found Monday in British Columbia’s Elk Valley.
Eleven men, most in their 20s, were swept away then back-to-back avalanches hit Sunday afternoon. Three men freed themselves and left the area when they feared another avalanche would hit.
