VANCOUVER A lost ski prompted a significant search and rescue response near Cypress Mountain Resort Sunday. North Shore Rescue crews were called to Hollyburn Mountain after a backcountry skier came across a pile of recent-looking avalanche debris, according to spokesperson Doug Pope. A lone ski was found in the pile, prompting the rescue team to head in and start investigating and digging. The search and rescue agency shared photos of the ski on Facebook, and soon a skier responded saying it belonged to him. Search manager Peter Haig told CTV News Vancouver that search crews were able to match markings on the ski to the man s description of it and confirm that it was his.

VANCOUVER The South Coast mountains are under a special warning: an avalanche could trigger at any moment. The warning comes from forecasters at Avalanche Canada. “There’s a buried weak layer that has the ability to produce big avalanches,” said Simon Horton, a forecaster with the organization, “there’s been several reports of natural avalanches in the last few storms.” This is not the weekend to tour out of bounds, Horton said, reminding people that anywhere without avalanche control, is considered the backcountry. For those determined to go anyway, Horton offered some advice. “It’s critical if you’re traveling in the back country to have avalanche training, have the essential equipment and check the forecast,” he said.
