The local SAR team (NSR) is again out looking for an out of bounds snowboarder in the same general area where they rescued another person. a few days ago.

With today's search, the person's cell coordinates indicated that he is on an island which as you see on this Google Map is quite a ways from Cypress Mountain which is in the lower middle of the map.

Just seen on the news that the SAR team now knows the general area where he is and are gearing up to go in to rescue this person.

Fortunately this will have a good outcome, and SAR was able to contact him via the cellphone. Had there been no cell voice contact, it is possible that hours could of been wasted searching in the wrong area and this makes another good case for carrying a PLB.
