Sugarloaf: Lost Subject Found in Caribou Valley!


Lost subject found this morning by a snowmobiler on the Caribou Valley road (currently not plowed and used as a snowmobile trail).  The young man spent 2 nights out in a snow cave he built and slept in. He was cold and being treated for hypothermia.  A full debriefing will be discussed at our next scheduled FSAR meeting on March 13th.
  
Numerous agencies were under the direction of the Maine Warden Service including (but not limited to) the Maine Forest Service, Carrabassett Fire, Mohoosic Backcountry, Mercer CERT, Sugarloaf Ski Patrol, SERE school, US Border Patrol, Wilderness SAR, and Franklin SAR.

Being such a high profile search has generated a large amount of media coverage. FSAR fielded 12 searchers!!!! Amazing!

Thanks to another strong showing from FSAR from Jim, Melissa, Becky, Seb, Al, Barry, Coby, Max, Sprague, Forrest, and Justin!
