Vernon SAR finds pair of missing skiers on Silverstar Mountain
VERNON B.C. — Vernon Search and Rescue (SAR) says its volunteers successfully reunited two skiers who who were lost on Silver Star mountain with their family.
It said in a social media post that crews were called to the mountain on Friday evening to find the pair of young men who are from outside Canada.
“Rescue teams on snowmobiles were able to locate the subjects at the Vernon Snowmobile Association chalet,” the post said. “They were found to be safe, dry, uninjured, and were reunited with their thankful family.”
Vernon SAR is also commending the two men for staying calm and activating the SOS alarm on their cellphones when they realized they were lost. They also say the two men did the right thing by staying put as they waited to be rescued.
