KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops man died in a snowmobiling mishap just outside of Barriere over the weekend.
Kamloops Search and Rescue Search Manager Alan Hobler says they were first notified of the incident around 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
“We got called out to locate and perform a rescue on a snowmobiler that was trapped. Unfortunately, it was not a happy outcome. The weather was really bad as well so access to the individual proved to be pretty difficult and unfortunately by the time the rescue was completed (at 7:00 p.m.) the individual was deceased.”
Hobler says the man was travelling with two friends who had tried to rescue him first before calling for help.
