REVELSTOKE, B.C. — A 42-year-old Alberta man died on Sunday afternoon after being buried in an avalanche while sledding on a British Columbia mountain.

Ed Sage was on a weekend trip with a group of eight people on Eagle Mountain, in the resort town of Revelstoke, RCMP officials said.

Two of their snowmobiles became stuck in a steep area known as Eagle Pass, said RCMP.

As they worked to free the machines the avalanche came racing down the mountain and buried the father-of-three.

By the time his friends found him and dug him out, he was dead, RCMP said.

“It looks like whatever they were doing to free the sleds triggered the avalanche,” said Cpl. Rod Wiebe. “It would have happened in minutes.”

Friends said late Monday that two of Sage’s daughters, aged 15 and 18, were with their father when he died.

Sage, who had been married to his wife Sherri for more than 20 years, also had a 12-year-old daughter.

The third-generation farmer had lived his whole life in the Alberta community of Hussar.

“He was a man of standards and high morals who is going to be missed by so many family and friends,” said friend Leanne Muller, who knew Sage for about 20 years.

“But he will be especially missed by his daughters and his wife. He loved them all so much and it showed.”

RCMP in Revelstoke, about 400 kilometres west of Calgary, are asking people to exercise extreme caution when engaging in “back country” sports.
