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.

According to Michael Schoemaker of Canadian Scrambling and Moutnaineering, the avalanche didn't appear to be a large one, but it still could have injured or buried someone. 

One person was critically injured in an avalanche in Yoho National Park on Saturday and later died in a Calgary hospital, Parks Canada said.

Tim Banfield still can't believe his friend escaped being buried by an avalanche alive while they were backcountry skiing in the Rocky Mountains last week.

Police said a man and woman searched for the buried woman for about 15 minutes, found her and were able to dig her out.

The two had been snowshoeing near Lake Louise and were last seen around March 11.

A man and woman from Boston were reported missing after they failed to check out of their accommodation in Field, B.C.
