- Description
- A group of snow bikers was riding on Sale Mountain north of Revelstoke when one of the riders was caught in a size 2 avalanche. The other snow bikers located the subject and dug him out quickly. A separate group riding in the area came to help. While both groups were working on the rescue response, which included CPR, a connected slope released, burying some of the snowmobiles of the second group. Both of these avalanches released on a weak layer of facets over a crust which formed in early February.
