A young girl died on Sunday night, several hours after being injured in an incident at the Val-St-Côme ski centre in the Lanaudière region.
The six-year-old’s death was confirmed Monday morning by the Sûreté du Québec. The provincial force has opened an investigation into the incident, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. and apparently while the girl was using a T-bar to ascend the hill.
The child’s condition was declared serious when she was being transported to hospital. The ski hill shut down its nighttime skiing operation Sunday to allow employees deal with the tragedy.
The Val-St-Côme ski centre is about 65 kilometres northwest of Joliette.
