“That actually turned out to be very beneficial for us, helped us direct resources to the right area. Once we had that information we started to get resources over into the area where the cellphone information was. I was surprised that she survived the night. She was talking to us, it was a huge pick me up for everyone.” –Jeff Sparhawk with Rocky Mountain Rescue
The woman had sustained serious injuries and was extricated from via snowmobile and then took a helicopter flight to a hospital. Great reminder to make sure your cellphone has a full charge before entering a potential survival situation and bringing along a backup battery in your kit is a wise move. Hats off to all the S&R personnel involved:
