While the Team was conducting a rescue operation in the Devils Punchbowl area, another call for assistance was received. A party of 4, including a 4-year-old juvenile, were riding snowmobiles on the B Trail which follows the Sawmill Cut Off road. Their ride was interruped by a downed tree across the trail. They attempted to go around but became stuck in deep unconsolidated snow.

The responders staged at the Shady Rest Sports Complex. Using the SMS feature on Caltopo the responders were able to acquire the coordinates of the stranded party. A field team of 4 departed the staging area on snowmobiles towing the Rescueboggan and quickly located the subjects. The field team was able to transport all 4 subjects back to the staging area at Shady Rest. The call was terminated at 1821 hours.
