The New Years Day 1999 avalanche was the worst in Quebec's history
In one second it happened.
In 1999 just hours after ringing in the New Year a deadly avalanche buried the school where many of the communities’ 650 residents had gathered to celebrate the New Year.
25 people were injured and sadly nine were killed.
It remains the worst avalanche in Quebec’s history.
