Anyone thinking of heading into B.C. backcountry for skiing or snowboarding should take note of several missions conducted to rescue individuals from avalanches or due to injuries over the past week.
In the late afternoon on January 26, NSR received a report of an out-of-bounds snowboarder at Cypress Mountain, who was off Strachan in the Mittens Couloir area. When he was caught in a small avalanche, he was injured from colliding with a tree, buried up to his waist, and complained about being cold.
