SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR staged at the Winter’s Creek side of Slide Mountain to search for a missing subject from Idaho. His cell phone ping placed him in an area just to the north of Winter’s Creek, but his vehicle was not found in the area. Searchers checked the location of the ping, along with areas in the general vicinity, but nothing was located. As the search areas started to go farther out, the subject was located in his vehicle on a little-known dirt road to the northwest of the Mt. Rose Ski area parking lot. He was brought out to an ambulance and was transported to a local hospital.

SAR Staff and the SVU responded to a staging location on SR445 to locate and assist a family of three from California that became stuck while four-wheeling. The vehicle was located in a dry-wash and extricated from its situation. The family was escorted out to staging.

SAR Staff, Hasty BC, SVU, and WCSAR BC began responding to a staging location on Riverflow Drive to locate a subject that was on the Steamboat Ditch trail that was possibly having a medical issue, as reported by another hiker. As SAR teams were leaving staging, RFD located the subject and determined that there was not a medical issue and there had been a misunderstanding between the reporting party and the subject. SAR response was cancelled.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team BC, RAVEN, and WCSAR BC responded to the Michael Thompson Trailhead to locate a hiker with a possible broken ankle. Some rain showers had come through the area, making the trail more treacherous than normal. The lead ground teams were able to access the location just as RAVEN arrived in the area. A hoist was performed and the subject was transferred to a REMSA ambulance at a landing zone near the staging location. On the way down, the lead team encountered another group of hikers that were out of water and were traveling extremely slow. Water was supplied to them and they were very slowly escorted down to staging.
