THE BC Coroners Service on Monday confirmed that the man who died following a snowboarding incident on Whistler Mountain on February 17 was Jaisal Chauhan, 30, of Waterloo, Ontario.

Chauhan was part of a group that was skiing and snowboarding on Whistler Mountain on that day. In the late afternoon, Chauhan failed to meet up with other members of the group, who reported him missing to the ski patrol when he could not be located.

A search was begun, and he was found the next morning in an in-bounds area near Harmony Ridge. He was deceased at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death. His family has been notified of his death.
