Several people venturing into the mountains in southwestern British Columbia had to be rescued in separate operations over the weekend.
North Shore Rescue says on its Facebook page that five skiers were reported lost late Sunday by Whistler Search and Rescue, and a helicopter was used to help in the operation to find and rescue them.
In another search by North Shore Rescue, a team went out late Sunday when an out-of-bounds snowboarder called to report he was lost near Cypress Mountain.
