Today, two more skiers were caught in an avalanche near Pemberton and not very far from the 1st avalanche a few days ago. These 2 people were lucky and and the person with the head injuries may live to see another day. Again, people need to stay out of the back country...

Note that Joffre Lake is just directly west of the Google Earth map screen shot I posted a few days ago.
