RCMP report trio rescued after becoming lost in back country
By Nelson Daily Staff
Three men are safe after being rescued from the back country by Search and Rescue RCMP Sergeant Monty Taylor of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment said in a media release Thursday.
Taylor said RCMP became involved in the search after the Salmo detachment received a call Wednesday (January 18) from a Nelson resident saying her boyfriend had activated an emergency distress signal on his SPOT GPS.
Taylor said the trio, in their mid-20’s, had been on a back country ski excursion for the past few days after being dropped off at the Bombi Summit between Salmo and Castlegar.
