RCMP say three heli-skiers were killed in an avalanche on Mount Knauss north of Terrace, B.C., in the province's northwest on Sunday. Avalanche Canada said the avalanche risk would be "considerable" in the alpine sections of northwest B.C. Mount Knauss is located around 30 kilometres north of Terrace, and around 710 km northwest of Vancouver. Earlier Monday, police in Atlin also reported a fatality from an avalanche near Pleasant Camp and the Klehini River, near the B.C.-Alaska border. That includes a 23-year-old snowmobiler killed near Kootenay Pass on Feb. 28 and a professional snowboarder who died near Joffre Lakes Park just days earlier.
