A 20 year old woman from De Winton died Sunday after a fatal fall at Fernie Alpine Resort.

The British Columbia Coroners Service identified the woman as Alexa Hugh early Wednesday evening.

Police say Hugh was snowboarding in an off limits area of the mountain with a companion when she fell more than 100 meters down the slope at the ski resort.

The accident happened around 1:30 in the afternoon above the Lizard Bowl.

Hugh was rushed to Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie but efforts to resuscitate her failed.

RCMP continue to investigate.
