Coquitlam SAR was paged Wednesday evening to assist North Shore Rescue
in the search for two parties of lost skiers in the Cypress Bowl area.
Teams assisted from Surrey SAR, Lions Bay SAR. The first group of subjects were found by Ski Patrollers and assisted from the area
by 20:00, the second group required a longer search.
By 21:00 rescuers were in voice contact with the second group. They told the team that they had followed other tracks into the area, and investigation revealed that the tracks they followed were those from the first group.
the search was hampered by high winds, cold temperatures, and rising avalanche hazard. If either group of subject has not had a cell phone, and called for assistance as soon as they realized they were lost, the rescue would not have gone so well.
All 5 subjects were taken back to the Cypress ski area without incident.
