This is the sixth deadly avalanche in British Columbia since the season started in November. Twelve people have died in British Columbia avalanches this season as unstable snow conditions across most of the province create the potential for large slides.
Avalanche Canada has been warning backcountry users about unstable conditions across most of the Canadian province, saying the snowpack in the interior is incredibly complex and difficult.
