Important Safety ReminderFriday, a group of teens traveled out of bounds on the top corner of our Jolly Jack run. This caused them to head a considerable distance away from the resort and resulted in a call to Search and Rescue. The teens remained in a safe location, were able to find cell service to be able to call our ski patrol and took direction incredibly well to ensure a safe recovery.
When out skiing, especially close to our area boundaries, please be aware of all signage as they are placed there for your safety. Skiing out of bounds can result in much worse scenarios than this one. There are a plethora of unknown dangers when in territory away from the resort.
Big thank you to our ski patrol staying in contact with the group, helping them in prepping for recovery, and thank you to the Oliver/Osoyoos Search and Rescue for arriving swiftly and rescuing the group as quick as they did. The teens were completely unharmed and remained warm until extraction later that evening.
Please to continue to enjoy Baldy, but please ensure you are skiing within bounds and reading all important safety signage place across the runs and the resort.
