One person is dead after an avalanche south of Valemount over the weekend.
North District RCMP confirms that the victim died Saturday when a slide came down on a group of snowmobilers in the Blue River area.
Corporal Madonna Saunderson says crews have recovered the body, but the identity of the snowmobiler is still being confirmed.
Avalanche Canada posted a special warning last Thursday advising backcountry users about a weak layer of snow that could increase the risk of avalanche around the treeline.
This is the fourth avalanche death in B.C. this year according to Avalanche Canada.
