Canada avalanche victims mourned

Thousands of people gathered in the small mining town of Sparwood, Canada, to bid a final farewell to eight local snowmobilers who died a week earlier in a string of avalanches.

To the strains of bagpipers, mourners filed into the local ice hockey arena, where the photos of the victims were on display on a makeshift stage, flanked at either end by a pair of snowmobiles.
