Cochrane and Stoney Nakota RCMP responded to a fatal avalanche last week.
It happened on Friday, March 14th at about 4pm in the back country area of Highway 742 near Mount Black Prince.
Mounties say four people were “out skiing when an avalanche occurred which carried a 34-year-old female resident of Calgary, a distance before she was buried in the snow.”
According to police, despite the best efforts of the other three skiers to provide medical attention, the woman was declared deceased by first responders.
Condolences are being passed along by Alberta RCMP to the family and friends of the deceased.
