Sun Peaks Resort announced its first death in recent years on Thursday, March 21, after a skier succumbed to injuries sustained on the mountain.
In a Facebook statement released on Friday, resort management explained that “tragically, an adult male guest died of his injuries after a collision with a tree on a beginner trail on Mt. Morrisey.”
They added that though mountain recreation is not without risk, incidents such as this are rare, and they strive to create a safe environment for guests and staff.
