Avalanche warning issued for most of B.C

The warning is the third of its kind over the past month and comes only days after a string of avalanches killed three people in separate incidents, pushing this season's fatalities to eight.

Klassen says a long bout of stormy weather has dumped fresh snow atop a weak snowpack, and as the blizzards subside and sun emerges he fears skiers and snowmobilers may not recognize the danger.

He says people need to be the most careful on days where they think the conditions outside look great.

The bulletin stands from Friday through Monday and covers all the Interior B.C. mountains, from Mackenzie and Chetwynd south to the U.S. border and west of the Alberta border to Pemberton and Hope.
