VANCOUVER — A man considered an icon of extreme snowmobiling in British Columbia has been killed in an avalanche.

The coroners service says 45-year-old Daniel Davidoff was found dead Monday in mountains near his hometown of Castlegar, in south-central B.C.

Regional coroner Larry Marzinzik says Davidoff was reported missing after failing to return from a planned solo snowmobiling trip.

He says a search team found the man’s body on Tuesday morning near College Creek Forestry Rd., and determined he had been struck by a snowslide.
