A 19-year-old woman died in a crash east of Golden Monday.
Few details are available at this time but there are reports the woman is from Alberta.
The car she was driving collided with another car on Highway 1 at about 1 p.m.
There are no reports of any other injuries.
Several crashes have been reported in the Kootenays, with at least eight in the Cranbrook area alone.
RCMP are asking drivers to stay off the roads until weather conditions improve.
Both the Trans Canada and the Okanagan Connector were shut down on Monday due to accidents.
The crash on 97C happened just outside Merritt. Seven people were seriously hurt.
Elsewhere in the Okanagan, up to 15 centimetres of snow kept emergency crews busy as they responded to a number of crashes.
