One person is suspected dead after an avalanche near Mount Mackie yesterday afternoon.
Paula Gaul, who runs Big Red Cats cat-skiing company, said they got a call around 3:30 p.m. from a group of people skiing in the backcountry yesterday afternoon.
One of the four was trapped, she said.
"His friends uncovered him, and apparently it was pretty obvious that he was not alive."
RCMP and search and rescue teams were investigating yesterday evening. Police wouldn't confirm whether anyone was missing or dead.
