Rossland Search and Rescue are continuing to search for two 16-year old skiers from the state of Washington who were reported missing on Red Mountain in the West Kootenay region on Thursday afternoon.

Just after 4 p.m. the Red Mountain Resort reported the two skiers were overdue. The pair, both 16-years-old, were part of a Boy Scout Troop from the state of Washington that were visiting the resort for in-bound skiing.

The Rossland SNR team were sent out and they located tracks that were thought to belong to the missing pair on the back side of Grey Mountain heading into the Esling Creek basin.

The search is continuing today and a helicopter has also been sent out to assist in the search.

More details to come.
