The purchase of Sargent, NH Equippi for search and rescue in New Hampshire spent about 13 hours, saving two well-trained and experienced tourists at Washington Peak on Monday night.

The New HampShire Fish and Game contacted around 6:00 pm after a 911 call for two tourists lost under the conditions of white in the above reaching Washington Peak, the agency’s press release said.

Fish and the game identified tourists such as Catherine McKi, 51, from Fyl, Mass, 54, 54, by Westborough, Massachusetts.

Tourists were lost from the path to Jewell’s path on Mount Washington, according to Fish and Game. They have been reported that they have stuck in a “very deep snow” of a cat of about 5,000 feet per mountain.

GPS coordinates provided by 911 managed to determine that the two were about 34 feet from the path. A conservation officer managed to talk to them on a cellphone and helped direct them to the path, employees said.

For two hours, McKi and Lelcher dug through the deep snow of the chest and “spruce traps”, for which the fish and the game say are holes in the snow under the trees, in an attempt to return to the path. They were successful, but they could not follow the path because it was buried by blowing snow by the wind.

In the end, the two were advised to go into the snow to warm up and wait for rescue teams.

Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) members and the NH Fish and Game Extended Search and Rescue Team began to prepare for rescue around 8:30 pm were long winds of 50-60 miles, often gust higher, say Fish and play.

Around 10:30 am, rescuers arrived at Mt. Washington Auto Road using Mt. Snow Cat. Washington State Park, according to the press message. The snow cat starts the mountain around 11pm with a total of nine rescuers. They arrived at the top before midnight.

The crews began to embark on the conditions and snowmobiles through a deep snow to the upper end of Jewles’ path at the top of Peak Clay.

At 1:20, the crews were approaching McKi and Llacher’s last known place, but were still trying to connect.

“The only way to find the path was through GPS navigation. The progress was slow because of the huge effort needed to drill a path in the deep snow,” the press said in the press.

The rescue crews came to the two tourists at 1:50 am.

The crews created emergency shelters and began to warm McKi and Llacher. The warming process took about an hour. At 3 in the morning, tourists were ready to move on their own, according to the press release.

The group went down the Jewell path to the COG railway station. They reached their destination safely around 4:15 in the morning

McKee and Lelacheur were appreciated by the ambulance staff. One was taken to a regional hospital in Littleon for a more evaluation and treatment of cold weather injuries, employees said.

The officials worked with the Twin Mountain Fire Service and the New Hampshire FD leader to organize transportation for rescuers back to Washington Peak to their vehicles.

The mission was officially cleared shortly after 7 o’clock in the morning, 13 hours after the initial 911 call for help.

“Both tourists have been found to have been prepared with a variety of gears,” the press said. “In addition, they both possessed safe cards and both were extremely grateful for the efforts made on their behalf.”

Officials said this rescue was an example of the need to prepare for the unexpected. They said that both tourists have winter tourist experience and are very well prepared. They came across unforeseen weather conditions.

“If they did not have the amount of gear they had with them, they are unlikely to survive until the rescuers reach them,” staff said.
