Helicopter rescue video shared by North Shore volunteers

Helmet cam video shot by a North Shore Rescue volunteer shows the drama and danger involved in the rescue of two lost skiers who were stuck in dangerous terrain.

The sequence shows the point of view of a rescue volunteer hanging from the end of a 61 metre long line.

Facebook apology

One of the rescued skiers, identified as G-regD-soy on Facebook, posted this thank you to North Shore Rescue:

The two 40 year-old-men skied out of bounds at Cypress Bowl Sunday and were then swept into a gully by an avalanche.

They were forced to spend the night on the mountain after NSR deemedthe extreme avalanche risk made it too dangerous to attempt a night rescue.

The men were rescued Monday morning.
