Crews to resume search Friday for snowshoers missing in B.C. wilderness
VANCOUVER — Crews say they will resume a search Friday morning for two snowshoers missing in the backcountry of Vancouver’s North Shore.
The search for 43-year-old Roy Lee and 64-year-old Chun Lam was called off Wednesday due to heavy snowfall and high winds in the area.
A post on the North Shore Rescue Facebook page says the search will begin again at 7:30 a.m. Friday morning, and the team is hoping for a break in the weather so crews can get into the field and helicopters can take to the sky.
Avalanche Canada forecasts the risk of a snow slide on south coast mountains will decrease by Friday, but says conditions in the area will remain dangerous at the treeline and alpine levels.
