B.C. avalanche kills French skiers

"Two French heli-skiers are dead after the third major avalanche in British Columbia in a week."

3 were buried by the avalanche; one was dug out unharmed. The two dead were 65 and 19 years old. They were part of a 10 skier and 2 guides that took a helicopter to the top of the Cariboo mountains.

Do these people sign a waiver releasing the heli ski operators of all blame? This party was even guided and ran into trouble. I also imagine it is not cheap to go heli-sking.

It is the 3rd deadly avalanche in BC in just over a week.

Brookvale anyone?
