Teton County Search and Rescue responded to two rescues in as many days, with the first of those occurring about noon Sunday at the top of Teton Pass. According to Chief Advisor Cody Lockhart, a 29-year-old male from the Jackson Hole area was descending Shiver’s Ridge at a fair rate of speed when he skied into a guideline off of a power pole. Lockhart said the man suffered significant, but not life-threatening injuries.
The Search and Rescue team responded with their helicopter and were able to short-haul the victim to a parking lot on the pass and a waiting ambulance took him to St. John’s Hospital for treatment. Then yesterday at noon, Lockhart says the team was again dispatched to aid a 20-year-old woman who fell off her snowmobile and cartwheeled behind it, suffering serious injuries in the mishap.
Once again, the search and rescue helicopter responded and ferried her from the scene of the accident to a waiting ambulance at the parking lot between Togwotee Mountain Lodge and the Blackrock Ranger District Office. Identities of either of the victims were not immediately available.
