A Toronto man is dead after a snowboarding accident at Beaver Valley Ski Resort.
Grey County OPP say the 45 year old was going down a hill at a high rate of speed at about 10:30 AM Sunday.
Witnesses on a nearby chairlift say the snowboarder was midway down the hill and appeared to be carving a turn when he fell, slid a short distance and crashed into a nearby tree.
Police say he was described as a skilled snowboarder and was wearing a helmet.
Police also say conditions were good, with sunny, clear skies and machine groomed hills with a frozen granular base.
However, the man had no vital signs and while first aid was administered on the scene, he was pronounced dead in hospital in Markdale just before 11:30 AM.
Police say the victim’s identity will be released if permitted by the family once proper notifications are made.
