An avalanche left a skier stranded in an out-of-bounds area of an Alberta ski resort over the weekend — but due to rare cell service, the man was able to call 911 for help.

That call prompted a response from two ski patrols who built the man a shelter and spent the night with him up on the mountain.

Goodhue, along with her colleague Madeline Martin, hiked two hours in steep rocky terrain up the mountain to the man's location. "There's just so many things going through your head that it's pretty hard to go to sleep, but we did stay warm, so that was great."

Skis out of bounds, got lucky in an extremely dangerous situation. Kudos to all those involved with the rescue. I hope a large sum donation by the individual rescued is made to the organizations who responded.

Did they transfer him to 811?

Alberta's reliance on contract nurses could further erode health-care system, critics say | CBC NewsAlberta hospitals and health-care centres have become increasingly dependent on private staffing agencies to stay functional — a trend that critics say must stop before it erodes a beleaguered public workforce. Why pay Canadian nurses what they are worth when you can import and pay them minimum wage? Noone I know can afford private healthcare. So, who is going to pay for it? defund the cbc. total propaganda preparing for federal proposal. shameful

Hello, what's your emergency? iPhone 14 wrongly dialing 911 on Alberta ski hills | CBC NewsSkiers and snowmobilers hitting the bumpy trails in North America have been triggering emergency calls to local responders, thanks to a safety feature programmed into the newest iPhones and Apple watches. I hope this gets ironed out. A friend once had a concussion in a skiing accident and bumbled around disoriented for half an hour. When he eventually came back to base, he had no recollection of what happened. You are the Scum of Journalism . AppleSupport Fix it, thanks 😉

92-year-old Alberta woman remains in hospital days after her 911 call was transferred to 811 | Globalnews.caA 92-year-old Alberta woman became sick and to weak to move. When her daughter called 911 for an ambulance, she was transferred to 811 and never received an ambulance. She old. Let die. What’s the education level of those in the other end of the 911 phone call? Their code must be hard to follow for them if they don’t hear the right buzz words from the ones calling them. This is sad but unfortunately shows our health care system is unable to care for every sick person. In every ER the sickest get seen first. Doesn’t matter the age of the patient.
