Avalanche risk high for B.C. Coastal and Interior mountains

Outdoor enthusiasts heading to B.C.’s Coastal and Interior mountains this weekend are being warned there is a high avalanche risk.
The warning from Avalanche Canada Friday comes just days after an Alberta snowmobiler died following a slide in east central B.C.
The man, in his 50s, was snowmobiling in the Clemina Creek area south of the village of Valemount Tuesday when the avalanche hit. He was transported to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
