A 21-year-old snowboarder who had gone missing last week at Cypress Mountain Resort near Vancouver has been found deceased in a gully.
According to West Vancouver Police, the snowboarder from Richmond, B.C., was last seen Friday morning around 10:45 a.m., when he was snowboarding with friends on one of the resort’s slopes.
An extensive search operation was launched by local ski patrol and North Shore Rescue. Tragically, the man was located in a gully near Collins Run, a green run that leads back to the Lions Express chairlift. Despite immediate life-saving measures, the individual was pronounced dead at the scene.
West Vancouver Police Sergeant Chris Bigland confirmed the discovery in a statement, noting that the investigation has now been handed over to the BC Coroners Service for further examination.
The details of when the body was found have not been released, but authorities are continuing their efforts to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.
