This is a prominent cinder cone at the site of the snowslide that killed Johnny Edzartza [sic] and Hank Williams. [note that the correct spelling of the family name is Edzerza, although Johnny's grave marker is mis-spelled 'Edzertza'. His wife, Eve Edzerza, survived the avalanche.] Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
