One male in hospital after Avalanche
On Feb. 8, police received a report of an avalanche near KHMR. Two males from Golden were apparently skiing out-of-bounds when they allegedly caused and were caught in the avalanche. Search and Rescue extracted the men from the area and one individual was taken to Cranbrook hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
“We would ask that those planning on going into the back country be aware of the avalanche and weather conditions,” said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury in a statement.
