A 26-year-old Whistler snowboarder is still missing after not returning from a planned overnight stay in the Whistler backcountry, according to a story on CTVBC.com.
The man, a 26-year-old resident at the resort, hiked out-of-bounds on Saturday with the intention of staying out overnight and returning Sunday. . . When he didn’t return, the man’s roommate notified Whistler RCMP and local search-and-rescue, and the search began on Monday. . . Search teams have been hampered by confusion over where the man intended to go, said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Steve Wright.
We’re just hoping that upon returning to Whistler he fell in with the Grenade crew has been on a non-stop party ever since.
[Update 4-22-09: The snowboarder was found alive and well near Cheakamus Lake this week after an intensive search involving Whistler Search and Rescue, Whistler RCMP and Blackcomb Helicopters. Link: Whistler Question]
