Parks Canada issues avalanche warning for areas of Northern BC

With files from Trevor Hewitt, MyBulkleyLakesNow.com.

An Avalanche Warning for recreational backcountry users has been issued for large parts of Western B.C., including areas of Prince George.

Parks Canada says the significant warming forecast to hit B.C. and Alberta this week have created unstable snow conditions in the mountains and on backcountry trails

This is coupled with the fact that the warm weather and B.C.’s spring break could mean more people heading into the mountains.

Parks Canada is warning all backcountry users to keep careful track of their regional avalanche forecasts at www.avalanche.ca.

They add that everyone heading out needs adequate rescue gear, including a radio transceiver, probe and shovel. People should also practice how to use all of these items in the event of an emergency.
