Nine Skiers Rescued in Whistler BC
Over the weekend, SAR teams in British Columbia rescued at least 9 skiers in separate rescues after 8 skiers became stranded in the terrain in Whistler while one hiker was rescued on Cypress Mountain after he was reported missing but was found below the Howe Sound Crest Trail. Additionally, there was news of an avalanche warning in the B.C. area.
It said snow had fallen on most of B.C.'s mountains on top of a weak layer established during drought conditions last month. While the risk of storm-related avalanche was expected to decrease, Avalanche Canada said human-triggered avalanches would remain likely. Read more here
Kudos to the SAR teams for dedicating their lives to rescuing people over the weekend up in the B.C. area. This is a reminder to check the weather and other resources for possible avalanches near the destination to plan to go. We hope everyone involved is doing well and as always, please be safe out there!
