Two people have died and one was hurt in an avalanche in the Purcell Mountains in southeastern British Columbia.
Avalanche Canada says a group of five snowboarders and one skier were caught in the slide Thursday in an area known as Terminator 2.5 outside of a ski area boundary near the town of Golden.
