UPDATE: The slide took place in an area known as Terminator 2.5, outside of a ski area boundary near Golden, and involved a group of five snowboarders and one skier.
Alberta-based STARS air ambulance said it was called to rendezvous with the BC Ambulance Service at the airport near Golden Thursday afternoon. No patients were transported.No details on where the victims are from were available Thursday night. The Golden area is a popular destination for backcountry enthusiasts from both B.C. and Alberta.
Avalanche Canada warned the snowpack in the province’s interior remains “incredibly complex and difficult to manage.”“Deep persistent slab problems may exhibit no signs of instability before a large avalanche occurs. They’re most likely to be triggered on steep and rocky slopes where the snow cover is thin or variable,” the organization said.
“Choosing low-risk terrain and maintaining good travel habits, including having one person on a slope at a time and avoiding slopes where other groups are riding, is especially important with a dangerous snowpack.”
