Backcountry Skier Killed in Avalanche Near Joffre Peak, BC




One person was killed Tuesday, February 24, in an avalanche while backcountry skiing near Joffre Peak, close to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park in British Columbia’s Sea-to-Sky region, marking the province’s fourth avalanche fatality of the season and the third in the past week.

Pemberton RCMP said they were notified of a missing skier at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday in the backcountry east of Pemberton, in terrain near Mount Matier and the Anniversary Glacier by Joffre Peak. RCMP Insp. Robert Dykstra said an avalanche occurred in the area where the skier was believed to be travelling, prompting a search-and-rescue response. Pemberton Search and Rescue later located the skier dead, and recovery efforts were ongoing as of Tuesday evening, reports CBC.

The death near Joffre Peak follows a heliskier who died after being buried in an avalanche east of Revelstoke last Thursday and a snowmobiler who was killed in an avalanche near Fernie two days before that. Another snowmobiler died in December in an avalanche near Tumbler Ridge in northeastern B.C., bringing the provincial toll this season to four.



The Joffre incident comes as officials warn of elevated avalanche danger across southwest B.C. following a weekend storm. Avalanche Canada listed the hazard as considerable for the Sea-to-Sky region on Tuesday, warning “New snow and wind loading have formed reactive storm slabs. Make conservative choices and be very wary of exposure to overhead hazards, especially while the sun is out.”

This marks Canada’s fourth avalanche death this winter and there have been 18 avalanche-related fatalities in the US.
