SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and SVU responded to the area of Toll Rd. to locate a stuck vehicle on Toll Rd., approximately 3/4 of the way to the top. The subject was not familiar with the area and took the wrong road to Virginia City. WCSO Deputies located the subject, got her unstuck, and guided her back down to the staging location.

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.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the NDF station on the Mt. Rose Highway for staging in reference to a lost skier in the upper Davis Creek drainage area. The skier had taken a route into the out-of-bounds area and couldn’t get back up to the ski resort. He decided to go downhill, but ended up in brush and manzanita and wasn’t sure where to go. A ski team was deployed from the Slide Mountain side of the Mt. Rose Ski Resort, and a foot team was sent in on the Hibbits Rd. trail. The ski team located the subject and escorted him downhill to Davis Creek Park. Other than being a bit cold, the subject did not complain of any medical issues. He was brought back to staging, and given a ride to his vehicle at the Mt. Rose Ski Resort.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to SR208 and Foothill Rd. to assist Douglas County with extracting an out-of-bounds skier in the Motts Canyon area. The subject and a friend had become lost and were cold at approximately 1700hrs on Thursday, 2/23. Douglas County SAR located the subjects, but due to the rugged terrain and darkness, they requested a helicopter extraction. A helicopter from NAS Fallon made an attempt, but low clouds prevented an extraction. One of the subjects was able to walk out with the aid of SAR, but the second subject had medical issues that prevented him from doing the same. Douglas SAR stayed the night with the subject, keeping him warm and sheltered, with the hope that the clouds would lift in the morning. This was not the case. Washoe SAR was requested to assist with foot personnel and tracked side x sides. As teams were preparing to enter the area, the clouds lifted enough for NAS Fallon to extract the remaining subject. SAR members that were in the canyon walked down to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR were requested to respond to the area of Oppio Park to assist Sparks PD in locating a missing dementia patient. The subject was located about .7 miles from his residence, approximately 45 minutes into the search. He was checked by a medic and released to his family.
