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!
