Two snowmobilers dead in Canadian avalanche (AP)

March 14th, 2010

A search and rescue helicopter heads toward the area where a large avalanche struck near Revelstoke, British Columbia, Sunday, March 14, 2010. The avalanche struck an informal snowmobile rally Saturday in Canada's Rocky Mountains, killing at least three people and leaving an unknown number missing. Rescuers resumed scouring remote Boulder Mountain at daybreak Sunday after halting the search overnight. Police also conducted a door-to-door search of hotel rooms early Sunday to piece together how many people were missing from the Big Iron Shoot Out rally. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Jeff McIntosh)AP - An avalanche that killed two people at an informal snowmobile rally in Canada’s Rocky Mountains may have been triggered by three daredevil sledders who apparently unleashed a deadly wall of snow on up to 200 people below, witnesses said Sunday.
