2 more avy fatalities in Canada
2 more avalanche fatalities in W Canada in the last week, not yet on avalanche. org or avalanche.ca. One involving a film crew near Bella Coola/ Tweedsmuir Park and the other in Banff NP, Mt. Deltaform. A close call on Mt. James Turner near Whistler the other day as well. That's 8 now for the season-time to not let your guard down!
