Police said the victim was identified as a 38-year-old man who was a citizen of the Czech Republic but lived in Revelstoke, B.C.
He had been snowboarding with two friends, they added.
Police said it wasn’t immediately possible to recover his body because of the remote location and harsh environment.
The Columbia Icefield, a popular tourist attraction along the famed Icefield Parkway, is about 100 kilometres southeast of the town of Jasper.
Sooo, I have to ASSUME that these snowboarders were OFF TRAIL when this accident happened. Once more, he died doing what he enjoyed doing and not from ILL HEALTH.
