According to a news release from the Idaho Panhandle Avalanche Center, law enforcement received a call on March 1 about people injured from an avalanche while snowmobiling near the Pack River Drainage. Boundary County Sheriff’s Office and Boundary County Search and Rescue located one survivor and found another victim dead.
