The North Summit Snowfield is one of the more complex trails at Big Sky Resort and skiers and snowboarders are required to wear a beacon and ski with a partner. The press release did not indicate whether or not the snowboarder was with a partner.
The deceased snowboarder has been identified as 29-year-old Chandler Pelletier of Belgrade, Montana. Pelletier was an employee at Big Sky Resort and an experienced snowboarder.
The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office and Gallatin County Coroner are currently investigating the incident. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
