3/22/2018 – Diamond Peak Lost Skier

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to Diamond Peak to assist Diamond Peak Ski Patrol in locating a skier who went out of bounds and was lost. A two man ski patrol team from the ski resort located the subject, but was having a difficult time in finding a workable route to extract the subject from the area. A four man SAR team was transported to the ridge above the subject by ski resort snowcats, and they were able to catch up with the group below them. The SAR team and ski patrol were able to slowly guide the subject down Mill Creek Canyon to an extraction point on Peace Pipe Lane where SAR vehicles met them. All searchers and the subject were then transported back to staging.
