This article, which has been notability tagged since 2009, doesn't seem to meet the continuing coverage requirement of WP:NEVENT. All of the information I can find on this is from 2008, although I'm getting a lot of noise from other avalanches in this area (there seems to have been another fatal avalanche in that area in January 2008, which is causing noise in the search engine). See WP:LASTING and WP:PERSISTENCE, this doesn't seem to have garnered coverage outside of the brief period after the accident. Hog Farm _Bacon 14:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Given the age of the article, I am relisting rather than closing as SOFTDELETE

Merge to Fernie, British Columbia. It's a noteworthy event for the town, but not a notable event for an encyclopedia. BD2412 T 21:17, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per BD2412. Pretty simple to copy-paste one paragraph. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:45, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
