Being a resident of B.C., myself & an ex-skier (never took to snowboarding & now to old) I can assure you the poor woman is in deep snow & YES it is cold. Like greenteaonsens I feel she is no longer alive. To many days to be missing, no food or water & lacking proper gear for survival.
Very sad to say that she has perished by her own inexperience. Unlike those idiots who leave the posted boundaries and wind up in trouble, she no doubt became lost very close to a designated run. In the nights following her disappearance the temperature went down to -14, and an additional 40 cm of snow has fallen. Under such conditions even the rescue dogs are having a hard time to find the body.
Her body was found yesterday at the bottom of a steep draw. She went over the side of a run and plummeted to the bottom, where, injured, she was unable to climb out of. She froze to death over night.

Let's hope she is found safe.

Yes. But it has been cold as hell up there in tham there hills the past few days.
It's not looking good now.
Hopefully she was off somewhere on a 4 day bender and forgot to tell her homestay family.
Better she gets yelled at than cried over.

She's a goner... they'll probably find the body after the Spring thaw.
