Stranded at Powerline Pass

During re-construction of a powerline tower in northwest BC in February 1994, six people were stranded in a lunch shack for four nights. The shack was buried by an avalanche on the third night. In this video, two of the stranded, avalanche technician Hector MacKenzie and linesman Trevor James, recount being stranded and its impact on them. Another of the avalanche technicians Scott Flavelle provides some background on the powerline and the terrain it runs through. Recorded in January 2025 then edited.
