Three men who died while heli-skiing outside Invermere have been identified by German media.
The newspaper reported the group traveled to celebrate the achievement of the 25-year-old’s bachelor's degree. The avalanche happened in the riding of Columbia River-Revelstoke, represented by member of the legislature Doug Clovechok. Clovechok said the dozen avalanche deaths this winter make it one of the worst seasons in decades in the province.
Clovechok added that last month an experienced search and rescue volunteer died in a B.C. avalanche while off duty, and her teammates with Cariboo search and rescue had to carry her body out. In total, there were 10 people caught up in the avalanche and three of the skiers lost their lives, four were injured.
