A snowboarder that was last seen on in Whistler on Wednesday morning was found on Saturday after she spent three nights in the backcountry.
Julie Abrahamsen was reported missing on mid-day Friday, and she was last seen on Wednesday morning going up the Glacier Expresss chairlift at 11 a.m. on Blackcomb Mountain. A search began with Whistler search and rescue and the ski patrol at the mountain, which went all day Friday and continued again Saturday morning.
Search teams used dogs and a helicopter to find the missing young woman, and eventually searchers found a track in the backcountry. Those who followed the trail found Abrahamsen at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday at Wedge Creek. Her condition was reported by Whistler RCMP to be good, though she was obviously cold.
