- An ice climbing party of two had just finished climbing the Lone Ranger ice climb in Ranger Creek, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. They were starting their descent on foot from the base of the climb when they were struck from above by a size 2 wind slab avalanche. They were swept into a gully feature on the slope below. One member of the group was partly buried and able to dig themselves out. The other member was fully buried and did not survive.
