People are remembering Dr. Laura Kosakoski as a kind soul after she died of injuries sustained in an avalanche last week.

The report says the woman was caught and deeply buried by the debris before being dug out by the two other skiers.

One person was buried after a group of skiers set off an avalanche on Mount Hector on Friday, according to Avalanche Canada.

Parks Canada is calling the recovery of three world-class climbers from Banff National Park treacherous and complex, involving a helicopter, a search dog and 28 people.

On April 17, three mountaineers who attempted to climb the east face of Howse Peak in the Icefields Parkway were reported overdue, Parks Canada said.

The parents of celebrated Austrian climber David Lama said Friday that he had "lived his dream," as hopes he and two other top climbers survived an avalanche in Banff faded.

Due to dangerous conditions at the scene, recovery efforts weren't possible on Thursday.

Jasper, Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks issued the Special Public Avalanche Warning (SPAW) for Friday, Feb. 17 until Monday, Feb. 20.
