Thursday, July 9
The men died in separate avalanches near Whistler, British Columbia, CTV reported.
Searchers found the body of a 37-year-old Whistler man Thursday morning, a day after he was reported missing on Blackcomb Mountain.
The second victim was killed Thursday afternoon on Whistler Mountain, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said. He was described as a 26-year-old man.
Another avalanche hit an area on Whistler Mountain that had not been marked as out of bounds. Resort employees then changed the area's designation.
This year has been a bad one for avalanches in British Columbia. Eleven men on snowmobiles were buried by a slide near Fernie Sunday, eight of whom died.
