BANFF, Alta. — Three skiers were injured after being swept almost 100 metres in an avalanche in Banff National Park.
Parks Canada says its visitor safety team responded to a satellite distress call around 11:30 a.m. on Monday.
“We had a group of three skiers who were skiing on the southeast aspect of Mount Patterson … just north of the Bow Summit on the Icefields Parkway or Highway 93 North,” said Lesley Matheson, spokeswoman for Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks.
