Snowboarder injured

NORTH Shore Reseve (NSR) made history
Thursday night.

Voijunteer searchers rescued snowboarders in
the summer.

The great amount of lingering snow on area
peaks has inspired some risk-takers to return to
the slopes — despite signs indicating closure.

NSR team leader Tim Jones said searchers
were called out before 9 p.m. to attend to three
snowboarders at Mount Seymour.

The mountain is closed for the season, but
the snowboarders built a jump on the main run
anyway. One of the unidentified males, a 23-
yea-old North Delta resident, hit a ree and seri
ously injured both legs. The injured male and his
friends were evacuated by a crew of 15 NSR
members with a snowmobile at 10:15 p.m.

Grouse Mountain announced Thursday that
the last weekend of spring was the end of its sea-

son. Grouse has blamed the remaining snow for
cancellation of an August Vancouver Symphony
concert. Cypress Bowl, however, remains open
for unprecedented summer skiing and snow-

boarding. A snow party is planned for July 1.
“Thanks to La Nina, the last Canada Day of
the century in Vancouver will certainly go down
in the h books as one of the most unique,”

said Cypress spokesman Matthew Broadbent.
