A snowboarder has died in an accident at the Whistler Blackcomb resort.
RCMP confirm the man, in his mid-20s, fell about 20 metres from a cliff at one of the highest points of the resort, Thursday morning.
Ski patrollers provided first aid and the man was airlifted to the clinic in Whistler but could not be saved.
Sgt. Sascha Banks says in a statement that the BC Coroners Service, RCMP and Whistler Blackcomb resort are all investigating.
This is the fourth death involving snow sports in the Sea-to-Sky region since Dec. 29 when two snowbikers were engulfed by an avalanche near Pemberton.
A skier died after falling into a tree well in the Whistler backcountry on Dec. 31.
