An avalanche was reported in the North Bowl Sunday – an area accessible from the top of Baldy, out side of the ski area. There were no persons reported missing, and no one was believed to have been caught in the slide.

RCMP and SAR attended, and an avalanche expert was flown over the slide by helicopter according to one source. A bit of a controversy over blame. (Note above information given to ODN by skiers on the hill. ODN is not in a position to confirm details but will continue to report what is given to it.)

Dan Skaros says this was not caused by a snowmobilers but possibly by a snow boarder.

He says the warning should go out to stay out of this area as the danger persists.

The Canadian Avalanche Association issued a special warning bulletin on Friday, warning of recent heavy snowfalls sitting on layers of concern.

The slide occured on the “east” side of the bowl, with heavy snow still sitting on the “west” side, as well as the cornice area.

Stay safe – stay out of the backcountry in these conditions.
