Search efforts resumed on Sunday for potential victims after a massive Boulder Mountain avalanche killed at least two people Saturday afternoon some 550 km northeast of Vancouver, Canada. RCMP confirmed two were dead after the avalanche hit an annual extreme-snowmobiling event attended by more than 200 people. The avalanche hit just before 3:30 p.m., as a large crowd had gathered to watch snowmobilers race up the side of the mountain. Once the area is deemed safe, four search-and-rescue teams comprised of about 40 to 50 members, will continue looking for those who may still be trapped under more than three meters of snow.
