VALEMOUNT, Canada — Searchers using metal detectors and dogs have recovered the bodies of four people killed in an avalanche that dumped as much as 33 feet of snow on their snowmobile party, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Monday.
The victims were from two families who came from the oil town of Drayton Valley, Alberta, to join about 300 people from Alberta and British Columbia in the weekend snowmobile rally along an alpine valley trail in British Columbia’s Caribou Mountains.
After the Saturday avalanche, other snowmobilers rescued the husband of one of the four victims and the wife of another.
