North Shore Rescue say they are still searching for two missing snowshoers last seen on Christmas Day.

North Shore Rescue (NSR) crews spent Friday searching the area around Mt. Strachan near Cypress Mountain for two missing hikers who departed Christmas Day and have not been heard from since.

Rescue teams on Vancouver's North Shore are on standby, hoping a break in the weather and a reduced avalanche risk will allow them to resume a search for two snowshoers.
