Horrible to hear, if anyone has more info regarding the circumstances or identity of the man, please let me know
A male staff member at Perisher resort has been found dead overnight.
Police were contacted by the man’s employer at the resort around 10.50pm on Wednesday night after he failed to arrive for his rostered shift.
A search began when it was discovered he had not returned from snowboarding earlier in the day.
The man’s body was then found at 11.30pm
A Perisher spokesman said the small alpine community was shocked by the tragic death of the man, who died while snowboarding.
Perisher chief executive officer Peter Brulisauer said it was a very sad day for the man’s family and the entire community.
“Our condolences go out to the young man’s family and friends during this difficult time,” he said.
The man is yet to be formally identified.
A post mortem examination will be held to officially determine how he died.
Initial police inquiries are focusing on whether the man fell while snowboarding.
More to come.

“It is not clear if the man was skiing.”
Well, did he have skis/boots on? What else would he have doing on front valley… bird watching?
Anyway, I hope he is OK. Doesn’t sound good at all.
Was a young kiwi guy.
Apparently he was riding with his mates all day, then bailed to go to work and never made it..
His name is Garrad (Jar-rad)
He’s a good friend of a guy I work with.
Very competent boarder, just got stuck..
Very sad. Condolences to your mate.
