One Snowmobiler Killed After Radium Avalanche
On Sunday, the Columbia Valley Search and Rescue recovered the body of one of the snowmobilers after three snowmobilers were up on the Thunderwater Lake area where one of the individuals triggered an avalanche, killing one person.

We send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the snowmobiler. We hope the other two snowmobilers are recovering as we thank the CVSAR and other volunteers for their dedicated work. As always, please be safe out there, everyone!
