Members of Prince George SAR landed by helicopter close to a snowmobiler with a knee injury this afternoon, patched him up and flew him to a waiting ambulance. The team was prepared to long-line (CDFL) him out, but it wasn’t necessary as his friends had managed to get him to an open cutblock.
A big thumbs up to this group for carrying a Spot alerting device, and using it early... half an hour later and we wouldn’t have been able to get there by helicopter due to a snow squall and reduced daylight. It would have been a long night for all. As it was, visibility was low all the way back to town...
Don't worry we know we left Ruth there.
We will be doing conducting a training exercise off of the Ridgeview trail tonight. This is in the Hart Highlands area of town.

Prince George SAR also responded to a false alarm this afternoon. While debriefing and discussing how easy it is to accidentally trigger the SOS feature our members actually triggered an SOS while the device was powered off. Pushing and holding the SOS button on the InReach while powered off caused it to turn on and start the alarm.
We were able to cancel the emergency right away but it really emphasized how easy it is. Please make sure you are protecting your satellite messengers from accidental activation.

PGSAR is on high alert - hoping we don’t get any calls for community members swept away in avalanches this weekend. Avalanche hazard is on the rise due to rapid warming and funky weather patterns.
