An avalanche occurred Feb 20, 2016 in Golden, BC. A group of snowmobilers were caught in an avalanche in the Quartz Creek snowmobiling area. One snowmobiler from Calgary (30 Years Old) was killed and one from Winnepeg (40 Years Old) was Injured according to the Sun Media. RIP to our fellow snowmobiler, condolences to his family and friends. And hope for a speedy recovery to the other injured party.
