WHISTLER, B.C. 芒鈧珺次元官网网址� RCMP say they're investigating the death of a youth skiing at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort on Friday.

Police say they received a call just after 5 p.m. on Friday about a missing youth skier who was separated from a guided group of young people about three hours earlier.

Whistler Blackcomb's ski patrol originally initiated a search when one of the ski guides reported the incident.

Police have not confirmed whether the incidents are related.

The BC Coroner Service is also involved in the investigation and no details about cause of death have been released.
