SAR Staff, Hasty BC, RAVEN, and WCSAR BC responded to David Creek Park to locate and transport an injured backcountry skier to the north of Ophir Creek. Ground teams began making their way to the location while RAVEN was en route. RAVEN located the subject and was able to land at the site. The injured subject was loaded on RAVEN and flown to a landing zone near Bowers Mansion to be handed off to REMSA for transport.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and RAVEN responded to the Winters Creek Lodge to locate and rescue an out-of-bounds skier that was down hill from the lodge in a location that was one drainage to the south of the Davis Creek drainage. Winds initially prevented RAVEN from getting into the area, so a ski team was deployed. They located the subject and requested a pick-up, but winds were not cooperating. Finally, the winds subsided enough for them to be hoisted and flown to a landing zone at the Winters Creek parking lot.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR assisted Carson County in locating a lost subject to the west of Goni Rd. Deep snow in the area required the use of tracked ATV’s. RAVEN located the subject and SVU was able to get within about 1/4 mile of the location. A Hasty Medic was deployed and administered initial treatment. A switch of helicopters was required to perform a hoist from the deep canyon he had walked into. The hoist was performed and the subject was transferred to REMSA at the Washoe Lake State Park staging location.

SAR Staff and the SVU were requested by TMFR to assist with getting to a victim of a fall at a residence in an area that was snowbound. Between a local resident with a plow, TMFR, and the SVU, the residence was accessed and the subject evaluated for injuries.

SAR Staff, Hasty, and the SVU responded to a staging location in Verdi to locate a stuck vehicle with an unknown number of subjects. The location was provided by a 911 ping to the vehicle. As the first team was arriving in the area of the ping, the subject vehicle and a second vehicle were located exiting the area. The owner of the second vehicle had been contacted by the stranded subject and asked for help, after calling 911. The stranded vehicle had two adults and one infant. They were safely escorted down to a staging location.
