SAR Staff and Hasty Team BC staged at a location along Mt. Rose Highway to locate a subject that had become lost in a snowstorm while snowshoeing. Using a cell phone ping, the subject was located and warm clothes were provided. During the hike out, the subject experienced a medical episode that required additional assistance and a second team with a rescue sled was brought in. The individual was brought out and checked by NLTFPD medical personnel.
