Several fatalities have been reported following an avalanche at a heliskiing site near Terrace.
Terrace RCMP and BC Emergency Health Services were dispatched on the afternoon of March 22 after receiving a report from local lodge staff of an avalanche that killed three people.
“One man was transported to local hospital by BC EHS with serious injuries and is now in stable condition,” Constable Kelly Cates said. “Three men were located deceased.”
Cates added that the names of those involved are not being released and the RCMP does not suspect criminality.
No further details are available at this time, and the file remains open with the BC Coroners Service.
