Two people have been rescued after getting caught in an avalanche this afternoon at a ski resort in southwestern Alberta.

One person was completely buried in the avalanche that occurred in-bounds near a ski lift at Castle Mountain Resort.

The other was partially covered by the snow and debris.

Ski patrols at the resort were able to rescue both people and emergency crews determined they did not need to be transferred to hospital.
