The pilot and five passengers departed from Stewart, British Columbia, in a Piper PA-32 Cherokee aircraft for a sightseeing flight over the glaciers near the town. When the aircraft did not return as scheduled, passengers waiting for the next flight made inquiries that resulted in Search and Rescue being alerted. Later that evening, the aircraft was found to have crashed on a snow-covered glacier. The pilot and five passengers were fatally injured; the aircraft was destroyed by impact forces.
The Board determined that the aircraft crashed into the glacier in a steep nose-down attitude, apparently out of the pilot's control. It was not determined what had caused the pilot to lose control of the aircraft.
