Rescue on Snoqualmie

Sheriff's Dept was affecting a rescue on Snoqualmie Pass today.

Specific details this early are obviously sketchy. Rumors from Alpental Patrol say a helicopter hoist in Commonwealth/Kendall, with injuries that include a possible broken pelvis.

Roll Call. Was this anyone here?

Positive Vibes for those involved.

We had 3 and were in and out by 9:15.  There were 2 other guys going up our skin track as we headed out and I'd imagine more on the way later in the day.  Don't know anything.

Looks like this is the the VERY inviting area above the trees we were in. As I mentioned in my TR we had no intentions of going anywhere above treeline in Kendall today. Previous trips up there I've been up in that area, turns are usually fantastic. It faces West so doesn't get the sun until later in the day. However, temps did warm substantially later in the morning if you look at the telemetry and there was a huge amount of new snow up there.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Any one care to wager on whether the term "experienced" will be use to describe th' poor lad?

They hardly ever get that right, eh?
Regardless of his level of experience prior, it is much higher now.
Let's hope that his injuries are not life threatening and that he heals rapidly.

Dangerous area. Best wishes for a full recovery.

Another one on Granite today, no details at this time.
