Lost Snowmobiler in Fairview/Gooseberry

[powderules]

KSL reported a lost snowmobiler in the Fairview/Gooseberry area. It sounds like they decided to halt the search for part of the night, but were resuming again early this morning. Does anybody have any info on how the search is going? I know a few mid 50's snowmobilers from Springville who sled around Gooseberry and am concerned. I'm hoping this will have a happy ending.

One of the comments on ksl said that he has just been found by the search chopper and is ok. I hope that is the case. I'm sure it wasn't the most pleasant night.

A great example of how a SPOT tracker could have helped. I never ride without mine.

Just saw he was found. Bet he'll sleep good tonight.

Glad he was found alive! I've ridden with big groups before and it is very difficult to keep track of everyone.

Yep....got spot? Got rino? Both help in this situation. Have the rino.....need to get the spot. There is always next year!

Glad they found him alive and well. I'm sure he froze his butt off though.

I just got my spot off of ebay last month. I got the 1st model for $90 and it comes with a $50 rebate. I love it and so does my wife! The rino is good for the group you're with and the spot is good for those that are at home while you're out riding. Both are essential tools when riding the backcountry, IMO.
