The Pemi Valley SAR team along with conservation officers conducted a rescue last week for a 28-year-old hiker becoming severely hypothermic while out on the White Mountains.
The hiker, identified as 28-year-old Patrick Bittman, of Portland, was hiking just below the summit of Little Haystack Mountain on Franconia Ridge when he found himself unable to move through several feet of snow. Read more here
Great work to all the SAR volunteers for rescuing the hiker. This is a reminder to wear layers of clothing while staying warm if you plan to go to the snowy mountains. Wear protective clothing and appropriate shoes for recreation. We hope the man is recovering well and as always, please be safe out there!
