3/4/2018 – Injured Skier

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR assisted NLTFPD in locating a back-country skier in an area west of Incline Lake who had fallen and sustained a back injury. Due to the location, the best and quickest way was for RAVEN to hoist the subject. Personnel were hoisted down to the subject to make initial contact. They packaged the subject and all were hoisted into RAVEN. The Mt. Rose Highway was briefly shut down so that RAVEN could land and offload the patient to a waiting ambulance.
