WEST VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – North Shore Rescue says a man who was reported missing earlier today on Cypress Mountain wasn’t missing at all.
The search group says Yao Gu was found safe and sound after several hours and after police received reports of an abandoned vehicle in the parking lot at Cypress Mountain. They say Gu was not lost on the local trails but had become ill and left his car at the mountain.
Both police and rescue crew say this serves as a lesson for anyone to tell their friends and family where they’re going before venturing into the backcountry, especially in bad weather.
