In the early morning of Wednesday, a 79-year-old skier was rescued by multiple SAR teams in the Flathead County area of Montana. He had gone skiing on Tuesday and skied in an out-of-bounds area near the Blacktail Mountain Ski Area. He had to spend the night until SAR teams came to rescue him.
According to the sheriff’s office, the skier had gone off-trail and become disoriented. He then spent the night in a tree well, making a small fire and using pine boughs for warmth. Read more here
Great work to all the SAR teams for rescuing the skier. We hope he is recovering well. This is a reminder to everyone to be careful while skiing, snowboarding, etc., and to stay away from out-of-bounds areas. As always, please be safe out there!
