outside the boundary of the Panorama ski resort near Invermere, B.C. on
Sunday afternoon.
pair were caught in the slide at around 1:30 p.m. PT and have since
been taken to hospital. Police believe one of the two may have suffered
spinal injuries.
Witnesses had reported seeing more people in the area of the
avalanche, Columbia Valley RCMP said. A search to find any survivors was

caught in the avalanche.
