BREAKING: Identities of Nelson officers killed, critically injured in avalanche revealed
The identities of two Nelson police officers who were caught in an avalanche while skiing north of Kaslo Monday have been revealed.
The two were on an off-duty trip in the backcountry about 60 kilometres north of Nelson when the shifting snow struck them. Spokespeople with Nelson and Kaslo Search and Rescue who assisted with the rescue effort said the officers had used snowmobiles to access Empire Cabin near Kaslo, then ski toured to the mountain Jardine SE3 where the avalanche occurred.
The rescue teams found Nolet and were able to airlift him to hospital with critical injuries, where he remains in the ICU Tuesday. Tittemore wasn’t found until later, when it was already too late to save him.
