Search for survivors resumes after deadly B.C. avalanche

REVELSTOKE, B.C.: MARCH 13, 2010 -- Boulder Mountain's Turbo Bowl in Revelstoke, B.C. is shown in this RCMP handout photo, which was taken hours after an avalanche struck on Saturday, March 13, 2010. About 200 people gathered on the mountain to watch the annual Big Iron Shootout, an annual snowmobiling event, when the snow slide hit.

Search-and-rescue workers resumed their ground search Sunday following a massive avalanche in eastern British Columbia this weekend that killed at least two men and injured 30 others.
