VANCOUVER — An eight-hour search for a missing snowboarder has ended happily on Vancouver’s North Shore mountains.

Rescuers found the 26-year-old at about 3:30 Wednesday morning on the east side of Mount Seymour, in North Vancouver.

Searchers say he was cold and wet but was given a hot drink and some dry clothes and was able to hike down the side of the mountain toward Indian Arm.

A Royal Canadian Marine search and rescue lifeboat picked him up on Brighton Beach and carried him the rest of the way to safety.
