Parks Canada says it has responded to an avalanche involving three people in the Rocky Mountains as it waits for better conditions to resume searching for three other climbers believed to have died earlier this week.
The agency says STARS Air Ambulance took one male patient to a hospital in Calgary following an avalanche involving a party of three on Des Poilus Glacier on the Wapta Icefield in Yoho National Park.
Parks Canada spokesperson Chelsey Dawes says in an email that there's no further information on the slide, except that it was not connected to the avalanche that happened Tuesday on Howse Peak in Banff National Park. Parks Canada's mountain safety team responded by helicopter and saw signs of multiple avalanches and debris containing climbing equipment, and recovery efforts have been on hold due to bad weather and continued risk of avalanches.
