Dec. 28: FSAR was put on un-official standby by Saddleback Mountain Ski Patrol for the search of a group of hiker/skiers. The subjects apparently left the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) parking lot on Rt. 4 around 1 p.m.  in deep snow. Wardens located the party at Rev It Up sport shop in Rangeley around 6 p.m. They may have been picked up by snowmobilers where the A.T. crosses the ITS trail at the base of Saddleback Mountain.  FSAR had not been activated at the time of the find.

Thank you to all who were preparing to respond.
