PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man

who died in an avalanche near Valemount on Jan. 18, 2014.

The man is Kym Alvin Avery Wilson, aged 28, of Warburg, Alberta,

 about 60 km west of Leduc in central Alberta.

Mr. Wilson was one of a party of five who had travelled to the Clemina area

south of Valemount for a day of snowmobiling. They were snowmobiling on an

area known as Goat Ridge when Mr. Wilson was caught up in an avalanche. He

was found deceased several hours later beneath about one metre of snow. A

specialized rescue team from Parks Canada was able to recover Mr. Wilson the

next day after ensuring that the area was safe from the risk of further

avalanches for the rescue teams.
