A special avalanche warning for British Columbia issued last week is being extended until Thursday as hazardous conditions persist in the backcountry — conditions that claimed the life of a man in the Revelstoke area on Sunday.
The warning by Avalanche Canada, which remains in effect until the end of day March 7, applies to mountainous regions of Vancouver Island, southwestern and northwestern B.C., as well as swath of southeastern B.C. including the Rockies and into parts of Alberta.
The organization said in a statement that numerous natural, accidental and remote-triggered avalanches have been reported, and one death had been reported as a result of an avalanche.
