At 1450 hours the Team was called to assist with a 68-year-old male snowmobile rider and a 68-year-old-female snowmobile rider who were stranded near the Devils Punchbowl. The subjects had become exhausted riding in deep snow and were unable to continue.

The Team staged at the South June Lake Junction and a field team of 3 on a personal snowmobile and the tracked Polaris Ranger responded to the subject location. The field team was able to assist the subjects with their sleds, and they followed the field team back to Rescue Base.

The female subject was driven to her vehicle, and she returned to pick up the male subject and the snowmobiles. While this call was in progress the Team received another request for assistance in the Shady Rest area. Both calls were concluded at 1821 hours.
