Police and ski patrols rescued five heli-skiers from a Dec. 23 avalanche in the southwest of British Columbia that left one skier partially buried and four fully trapped.
Police received reports of an avalanche near Ipsoot Mountain, north of Whistler, B.C., at around 1:30 p.m, RCMP Const. Antoine Graebling told The Epoch Times. Four skiers and their guide, dropped at the mountain’s summit by helicopter, were caught in the avalanche with all but one of them completely submerged.
