It is with heavy harts that we report that Whistler local Maxim Arsenault, has passed away in an avalanche near Haines Pass, Alaska while filming with a production company. According to a report by CBC News, Arsenault triggered an avalanche after falling from a 30′ cliff.
Philippe Brient, of Atlin Search and Rescue told CBC News that “the rest of the film crew members had been able to partially dig him out before search and rescue officials arrived, but the man was already dead.”
Our deepest condolences go out to Maxim family and friends.
