While the pilot was attempting a west to east visual flight through the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, he entered a mountain pass that was blocked by low clouds at about the 2,100-foot elevation level. The aircraft entered the clouds, then re-appeared in a steep, nose-down attitude. It then crashed to the ground and burst into flames. The pilot and the two passengers were fatally injured; the aircraft was destroyed. The Board determined that the pilot attempted to continue visual flight into instrument meteorological conditions. The weather conditions were unsuitable for the proposed VFR flight through the Hope Slide pass. After the aircraft entered the clouds, the pilot likely lost control. The aircraft stalled and crashed to the ground.
