Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Dec, 2024 11:34 AM

Police and search crews are on the lookout for a skier missing at Sun Peaks Resort since Tuesday.

R-C-M-P say 68-year-old Tomasz Jaholkowski did not appear to return to his hotel room after being seen on surveillance video at a chairlift earlier in the day.

The resort says the man was apparently skiing alone, and he had no further lift scans after mid-morning Tuesday.

Police and Kamloops Search and Rescue are now using both aerial resources such as helicopters and drones as well as ground-based teams in a bid to find the missing man.
