It is 10:30 pm, two missing skiers have been found, and help is up on the Jolly Jack to get them out of the dense trees.
It is fortunate the brother of one of the missing happened to notice his brother's bag in the lodge after 3:00, knowing that the brother was supposed to be at work at 4:00.
I've just come back from talking to the parents, family and friends who are gathered in the lodge waiting. The missing had hiked far enough to get spotty cell service. It is minus7C - could have been a whole different story in last week's temperature. The parents expressed appreciation for all those who stopped by to check on them while they waited,
I was not aware of the incident until I was contacted by a friend who knows one of the guys.
I checked in with Ross Potter from SAR, and Colleen SAR/Baldy Patrol is also here.
Don't go out of bounds at Jolly Jack, or backside of Sugar.
