A woman has died after being found unresponsive on a mountain at a British Columbia ski resort.
Police say a person riding the gondola at Whistler Blackcomb spotted the woman on Blackcomb Mountain, and patrollers contacted police at about 10 a.m. on Thursday after locating her.
Thank you to our guests for your patience this morning while our Patrol team dealt with an emergency on Blackcomb, in addition to avalanche control work in the alpine.

A release from Sea to Sky RCMP says the woman was given life-saving measures at the scene and taken to the mountain's base, where an ambulance took her to a health-care clinic.
She was pronounced dead upon arrival at the clinic.
Police are now asking anyone who may have witnessed what happened to contact investigators, and say no further information will be provided for privacy reasons.
Whistler Blackcomb says on its X social media account that gondola service was disrupted for a short time but has since resumed.
