It appears that there is another rescue going on at the same time, this one in lower Tahquitz Cyn.

I know that they put some team around that area and on Skyline but there has been nothing said of something there.

Hay Steve; thanks for the look around yesterday.

That's great news, I couldn't help but wondering what a night in the mtns. in a storm with only the shelter you could find, would be like!

Yesterday as I was yelling for him in the woods, I kept hoping something might come echoing back.

Thanks SAR's guys & gals, and Steve, you forgot to mention that they also have to deal with the mad house at the tram, (not to mention the personnel, just kiddin Tim!).

To all SAR, RMRU, Sheriff, Tram, and locals (hiking crew (you know who)) who assisted in finding the lost skier this weekend - THANK YOU! It was a massive effort and I'm very thankful that things turned out well!

Time for some sleep!

Im sorry, but Im confused about the "unexpected storm" BS he mentions in that news article.. That storm was reported since thursday to be hitting friday night and staying through til late saturday night. Who was it "unexpected" to?? I knew it was comming, thats why I ran extra on friday, i knew i couldnt go out saturday. ...I guess its unexpected if you dont check weather reports before you go out....dumb-ass shouldnt be allowed to call him self a "professional hiker" since he doesnt check weather conditions for where hes going, and then in his ignorance puts so many other peoples lives at risk as they search for him. ....I just have zero patience for willful ignorance, especially when it puts other peoples lives at risk

im happy he was OK, that article (that bluerail posted above..) just pissed me off is all.

Don't you think you're being a little hard on the Beave? Many people went out that day in the storm & were prepared for the worst (like he was). I don't know how familiar he was with the mountain, if he did anything wrong it was not having a map & GPS (assuming he didn't).
