00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.919
Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

00:00:05.459 --> 00:00:08.140
Two separate Sunday avalanches in northern BC

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.580
have claimed four lives. Three heli skiers died

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.500
in a snow slide of Mount Noss north of Terrace

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:17.519
early in the afternoon. A fourth skier is still

00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.739
being treated for serious injuries. A second

00:00:20.739 --> 00:00:23.760
slide a few hours later killed one person in

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.269
a remote area near the BC Alaska border. Four

00:00:27.269 --> 00:00:30.890
others survived that avalanche unhurt. Other

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:34.250
news. Black Ice is being blamed for a rollover

00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:37.750
crash on the Cocahalla Highway on Sunday. RCMP

00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:40.490
say the driver of a pickup lost control before

00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:45.149
it spun out and rolled near exit 192 just north

00:00:45.149 --> 00:00:48.009
of Hope. Both the driver and the passenger suffered

00:00:48.009 --> 00:00:51.490
minor injuries. There's no word yet on any possible

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:55.420
charges. Surrey police are avoiding saying whether

00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:58.719
a business shot up east of Cloverdale early Monday

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.820
morning is another case of extortion related

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:04.680
violence. The shooting happened on Production

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.819
Boulevard near the Langley -Surrey boundary.

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.980
No one was hurt. There's good news for those

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.739
who rely on BC ferries between the mainland and

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:17.859
the Sunshine Coast. The ferry corporation has

00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:21.530
announced 120 additional sailings will be added

00:01:21.530 --> 00:01:24.769
to the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale run during the

00:01:24.769 --> 00:01:28.189
shoulder seasons. BC Ferries is also expanding

00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:31.150
access to its lower price fares on the route

00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:34.310
for May and June as well as September and October.

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.769
This comes even though BC Ferries lost 24 million

00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:43.409
dollars on that same route last year after subsidies.

00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:47.189
Rain and gusty wind in the forecast for Tuesday.

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.099
showers on Wednesday and Thursday. For all the

00:01:52.099 --> 00:01:55.459
