Salmon Arm  

Stuck sledders rescued

Two snowmobilers were rescued from a ravine near Chase, Monday, after spending a cold night in the mountains.

About 7 p.m. Sunday, Chase RCMP received a report of two Abbotsford men stranded in a ravine on Crowfoot Mountain. 

The men called the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club and said they needed assistance to get out. 

The experienced outdoorsmen spent the night in the cold after volunteers from the club were unable to reach them due to darkness and terrain.  

On Monday morning, Shuswap Search and Rescue and a B.C. Air Rescue chopper with the Vernon Search and Rescue helicopter winch team on board went back into the hills. 

Volunteers reached the men and assisted them down the mountain. 

Neither was injured in the incident.
