During a snowmobile competition in western Canada an avalanche struck. Three people killed and 30 injured. There were about 200 people at the Saturday event when the avalanche happened. It hit a mountain in British Columbia, says Cpl. Dan Moskaluk (spokesman for Revelstoke police). At hotels, police were making rounds to determine how many people were still missing. Crews used many resources, like canine units, to search for survivors after clearing the area. On Boulder mountain near Revelstoke was the event "Big Iron Shoot Out". The accident occurred during the event. Authorities stated that three people were killed late Saturday.

I think that it is sad that people died during the avalanche, but I think that people should be glad that only three people were killed when there was a a snowmobile competition going on. I feel for the three peoples families and I hope that they are all doing well and move forward in their lives. May those three people rest in peace. As for the 30 people who are injured, I hope they are all doing well and are on a speedy road to recovery. I am glad that the Canadian Police department did all they could to find all of the people still out in the avalanche mess. I think that the police departments should really do everything to find everyone in an avalanche or any kind of accident. I hope that everyone injured and those families are doing well and can move forward from this tragic incident.
