REVELSTOKE – A heli-skier has died after being caught in an avalanche in southeastern British Columbia.
RCMP say they were told on Thursday about a fatality after an avalanche in a heli-skiing area near Revelstoke, about 640 kilometres east of Vancouver.
Police say the skier was with three companions and a guide in a backcountry area when the avalanche took place just after 2 p.m.
They say the skier was found under about 1.5 metres of snow.
Police say the person was airlifted to a hospital in Revelstoke but was pronounced dead.
RCMP say there was no evidence of criminality in the death, which is under investigation by the Mounties and BC Coroners Service.
