Missing snowboarders last winter???

Ok let me know what you find out Marcus. If the family is Ok with it , I am prepared to get with you guys and spend a day or two looking for them.

Call the Sheriff's office. I think its the Pierce County Sheriff that has jurisdiction @ Crystal.(?) Anyways, I'm sure they have a plan. They may accept help (probably not officially, due to ownership of services, and liability). It doesn't hurt to ask. One call (Scotsman) with relayed info to the BC community would be best. In my experience with public emergency services (I is one), they have a plan, they've done this before, it may take time, but it will be effective and safe, and it will be conducted with compasion and respect for the family. If there's somethng we (BC community) can do, I'm sure there would be many fine folks who would be willing to lend a hand. -What a great sport, what great people.

Agreed -- I spoke with SAR and a few other folks, including friends and family, in the few days after, since we were out there that day.  Joedabaker did as well and I think he'd seen them shortly after we did.  I'll see if I have the info for the woman who contacted me.  I'd definitely head down there for some searching if it would help bring closure.

I'd like to be kept informed, and will help as well.  Hopefully we can use this thread as a source of information regarding the organizing of efforts?

I've been in touch with friends and family in the last day or two. They're starting to do some searching and are in touch with Pierce -- when I get some information I'll post it here and we can organize a group to go down and help out as needed. I'll let y'all know.

I was up in the Norse Mtn (?) vicinity a month or so ago witha friend who is on the Greenwater Fire Dept and he mentioned he/the FD would likely get pulled into any search efforts at such time as they commenced. Saw him yesterday but neglected to ask. I'll give him a call and see what, if anything, he knows....

I am the mother of one of the snowboarders and I am very glad that he had friend like you that are willing to try for us as we can't ourselves.
