3/8/19 – Lost Snowbiker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Tahoe Meadows to locate a subject that became separated from his riding partner, then had his machine develop mechanical issues. A cell phone ping placed him approximately .75 miles to the north of SR431. Backcountry skiers, along with SVU snow machines, accessed the location. The subject’s snowbike was left at the site, and the subject was transported down to staging in a SVU tracked side x side. The subject returned the next day, with a friend, to retrieve his machine.
