Search underway at Whistler Blackcomb for missing snowboarder

Whistler RCMP and Search and Rescue are looking for a 21-year-old woman who went snowboarding two days ago and hasn’t been seen since.

Julie Abrahamsen left for Whistler Blackcomb on January 21. According to Sgt. Rob Knapton, her last cardscan was on the Glacier Express at around 11 a.m. that day.

Whistler Search and Rescue and Whistler Blackcomb ski patrol have been searching the mountain, but so far haven’t found Abrahamsen. However, they aren’t ruling out the possibility she left the mountain and is missing somewhere else.

Abrahamsen is 5-foot-6 and around 140 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. She has a green-and-purple ski jacket, with purple ski pants and a blue helmet.

If you’ve seen Abrahamsen, or have any idea where she might be, you’re asked to contact the RCMP.
