A young Quebec man was critically injured and died while snowmobiling on a peak near Revelstoke on Saturday (Dec. 3).

RCMP say the 27-year-old was snowmobiling with a group near Boulder Mountain when he became separated and went missing. He radioed to his group to tell them he was lost, but didn鈥檛 have GPS or satellite communication and couldn鈥檛 relay his exact location, according to police.

They were called into action at 5:40 p.m. on Saturday and went looking for the man alongside Revelstoke Search and Rescue. They discovered the man four hours later at about 9:30 p.m. in a remote and steep area known as the 鈥淭oilet Bowl.鈥� Corp. James Grandy said the 27-year-old was suffering from 鈥渆xtreme hypothermia鈥� and was in 鈥渟erious medical distress.鈥�

Police and search and rescue members tried to transport him to safety, but he succumbed to his injuries on the way.

RCMP and the BC Coroners Service are investigating his death, but say it is not suspicious.
