Memorial for 8 Men who were Killed in Avalanche - Sparwood BC

The community of Sparwood BC held a memorial today for the 8 snowmobilers killed in an avanlance last week. There was a total of eleven men, but three managed to make it out. The rest were lost. The community of Sparwood (just outside of Fernie, BC) held a memorial today which was attended by a couple of thousand people either from the area or other parts.

My heart goes out the grieving families and friends as they deal with this huge loss.

Here is more about the horrific event that took eight lives:
