1/26/24 – Lost Snowmobiler

SAR Staff, Hasty BC, SVU Tracked, and WCSAR BC responded to the Tahoe Meadows area to locate a subject that had buried his snowmobile bad enough that he was not able to extricate it. He then walked approximately 1/2 mile in a direction that was not going to take him to civilization. BC teams, on foot and skis, were either transported or towed by SVU tracked equipment to the vicinity of the subject. He was assisted back to the tracked machines and given a ride out to staging. His snowmobile was also recovered.
