Woman Transported By Plane To Calgary Hospital After A Major Fall In Banff National Park

The crash happened in the Grand Daddy Couloir area just off Highway 93 around 10:50 a.m., said EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux. The Grand Daddy Couloir is a steep narrow ravine at the top of Bow Peak that is often used by challenging skiers. The woman, who is in her 20s, was with a group of skiers who were planning to go up and then go skiing, Brideaux said. “There was an incident where she lost control of herself and ended up falling over a long distance.” Park officials were able to help transport the injured woman to a nearby car park at Mosquito Creek Hostel where she was picked up by ambulance. He then met the STARS ambulance team at a Lake Louise helipad. The woman was then airlifted to Calgary Hospital. “[The incident] is seemingly random in nature. “However, it was a very significant fall on a steep slope,” said Brideaux.
