Once is Enough SAR:

TCSAR responded to the backcountry outside of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort yesterday 3/24 in response to an injured skier.  The skier had been attempting to ski the steep run know as once is enough when she fell sustaining severe injuries.  JHMR ski patrol responded and were able to package the skier and bring her to the bottom of the steep slope where the TCSAR helicopter was able to land and attend to the victim.  Because of the severity of the skiers condition Air Idaho responded to the base of the ski area and the patient was transferred to their helicopter and transported to EIRMC.  This was a great collaborative effort between JHMR Ski Patrol and TCSAR.

Snowmobiler’s Rescued:

The TCSAR team responded to a report of overdue snowmobilers on the night of March 12th at around 8:30 pm.  The Team went in search of the snowmobilers in the Gros Ventre  area and were able to locate them at night thanks to the signs the lost party had created on the nearby trail where their snowmobile was stuck.  Luckily nobody was hurt and the team returned the lost snowmobilers to the trailhead with everyone safely home by about 2am.

TCSAR Remembers a Teammate:

The members of TCSAR would like to join the Jackson Hole community and the Backcountry Skiing community at large in remembering Steve Romeo our friend and teammate.  Steve was killed in an avalance on March 7th while doing what he loved.

Steve served on the TCSAR team from 2006-2009 and participated in many rescues.  Steve also continued to support the TCSAR team even after his departure from our active ranks.  Steve was a wonderful person and a great friend and he will be greatly missed.
