While summer weather may be drawing hikers to local mountains, B.C. rescue crews are warning many trails and backcountry areas still have significant amounts of snow.
North Shore Rescue was called several times over the weekend to help hikers who were stuck in steep snow. One group became trapped near Christmas Gully on Mount Strachan Saturday and were spotted by rescue crews from the air.
While helping those hikers, some team members were diverted to the BCMC Trail on Grouse Mountain "due to reports of a hiker crawling up the trail and having difficulty." "Please plan accordingly with appropriate equipment including microspikes, ice axe – and the knowledge of how to use it."
