The SVU were requested to transport county radio personnel to the top of Slide Mountain for repair work on the repeater system. Deep snow prohibited the Pisten Bully from reaching the site.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR were requested to assist Storey County deputies in evacuating an 80 year old subject from his snowbound residence, north of Virginia City. He had been without heat and power for a number of days, and was unable to leave the area due to deep snow. SAR personnel, using tracked vehicles, were able to gain access to the property and evacuate the subject, along with his dog and cat.

The SVU transported Washoe County Radio Shop personnel to the top of Virginia Peak so that they could conduct maintenance on the repeater system that had been malfunctioning. A heavy coating of ice on antennas appeared to be causing the problem.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the 7th Street area of Sun Valley to locate two subjects in a stuck UTV. Their cell phone ping placed them in the hills to the west of Sun Valley. A SAR team quickly located the subjects and got them back on an established dirt road. They were safely escorted out of the area.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the N. Virginia entrance to Peavine to locate numerous vehicles that were stranded on the main Peavine Road. Five vehicles were located approximately 1.5 miles from staging. They were in the process of self extracting themselves. SAR assets stayed on scene until all vehicles were safely headed downhill, then escorted them to SAR Staff at staging.
