3.5.09 Skiers Lost in Backcountry on Nevada Side of Heavenly Mountain Resort

Search and Rescue responded to two groups of lost skiers yesterday at around 4pm MSNBC Story. I saw the helicopter hovering for about 2 hours above Firebreak and the Palisades areas of Heavenly Mountain Resort. Firebreak and Palisades are out of bounds runs located on North side of Heavenly in Nevada. You should not be in these areas unless you really know what you are doing. We had 5-7 feet of fresh snow fall over the last few days. Fresh, unpacked powder makes it very, very difficult to get out of low or flat spots.
