Search and rescue team members had worked through Sunday afternoon and night in heavy snow, by snowmobile and by ski, to try to access the couple
Rescuers built snow caves in the back country of Strathcona Provincial Park overnight Sunday so they could stay with an injured snowboarder until she could be flown out.
About 15 search and rescue team members worked through the afternoon Sunday in heavy snow, by snowmobile and by ski, to try to access the couple, spokesperson Paul Berry said Monday from the rescue site. The rescue was the second on the weekend for the Comox Valley rescue volunteers, who were also called out on Saturday afternoon to help an injured snowmobiler near Mount Washington, Berry said.
