Skiers, snowboarders missing near Kamloops, B.C., ski resort
KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Rescue crews have found 3 of 7 people who went missing Monday at a ski resort near Kamloops, B.C.
Alan Hobler with Kamloops Search and Rescue says the two snowboarders and five skiers went out of bounds at Sun Peaks and into a hazardous gully where they could end up stranded or in a creek.
He says the three people who were found are believed to be in fair condition.
Hobler says an 18-member search assisted by infrared-equipped drones would continue searching until replaced by a fresh crew in the morning.
He says the avalanche hazard level in the area is low, conditions are fairly stable and the temperature was around minus-1 Celsius.
Hobler says he doesn’t believe the missing people carried cellphones or other electronics.
