A skier is dead after getting caught in an avalanche in the backcountry near Pemberton.
RCMP say the avalanche happened Wednesday afternoon, and that the guide was located at about 2:30 p.m. in the area of South Creek following a call from a local heli-skiing company.
The skier was taken to the Whistler Health Centre in critical condition, but did not survive.
More to come.
