3/20/20 – Back Country Skier Needing Assistance

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and WCSAR began responding to an area north of the Mt. Rose Ski Resort on the report of a subject that was back country skiing and ended up in the Galena Creek drainage, but needed help getting out. He called his girlfriend, who called 911 for help. As teams were en route, the subject was able to self-extricate. SAR response was cancelled.
