A Vancouver snowboarder died Saturday, March 6, 2010 after apparently hitting a tree while snowboarding at Big White Ski Resort, according to a story in The Province.
Michael Ballingal, spokesman for Big White, said the young man died while snowboarding in bounds down Whitefoot Bowl run, an intermediate level hill. . . It’s believed the snowboarder may have struck a tree, but Ballingal did not have further details on the circumstances that led to the death. . . “It’s a tragedy. It’s very, very seldom that these things happen, a sudden death like that. It’s so close to home and it’s the first Saturday of spring break,” said Ballingal.
The snowboarders name and age have not been released.
