A 15-year-old skier has died after an avalanche buried him under snow in southern Alberta.
Cochrane RCMP say they responded to a call for two people missing after an avalanche near the Nakiska ski hill, located west of Calgary in the Kananaskis Country, just before 1 p.m. Friday.
Police say one person later escaped the snow while a Calgary teen remained missing.
He was eventually found unconscious and taken to hospital, where he died Saturday morning.
