MASAR has requested that all available active FSAR team members respond tomorrow to assist in the search for a 17 Y.O. male missing since Sunday (3-3) at 12:30 p.m.
Report at 7 a.m, Tuesday, 3-5-2013 to the Sugarloaf Fire Station which is located behind the Admin Building at the resort. Rescuers are requested to park in parking lot E.
Teams will likely be transported to the scene via a chairlift and spend the day on snowshoes or skis searching. If you are an advanced/expert alpine or telemark skier respond on skis, otherwise bring snowshoes.
Come prepared for winter conditions in a dense alpine environment, (if you are not a skier) snowshoes are a must. Barry (FSAR board member and Sugarloaf Ski Patrolman) recommends a Goretex jacket, as you will get wet with snow falling from the dense trees, and bring multiple gloves or mits as they too will get wet.
Once at the staging area report to Pat C. who will be in charge of FSAR's response.
If you are planning on responding, please text Mit tonight, so we can let MASAR know how many to count on.
Because this search is in our 'backyard' every effort should be made to volunteer tomorrow if possible. It's close and we know the terrain better than most.
