At 1544 hours the Team was called to assist a skier who was reportedly trapped in an avalanche and separated from his partner in the Negatives area off of San Joaquin Ridge. The Team responded to the June Mountain Ski Area (JMSA) parking lot and learned that June Mountain Ski Patrol was on the way to the scene on snowmobiles.

A field team left JMSA base in the tracked Polaris Ranger to stage at the JMSA Mid-Chalet. Other team members remained on standby in the parking lot. The subject was located and extracted from the scene by ski patrol, and transported to the JMSA parking lot. The field team returned to base and the operation was terminated at 1822 hours.
