Snowmobiler rescued after being stranded at Sawtell Peak

Fremont County Search & Rescue rescued a snowmobiler after getting stranded in the backcountry of Sawtell Peak.

Two men were snowmobiling Friday afternoon in the backcountry of Sawtell Peak when they fell into a canyon. Their snowmobile then got stuck in heavy snow.

One of the men rode to town and called FCSR around 10:30 p.m., at which point a Fremont County deputy and FCSR were dispatched. According to a press release, it was difficult to locate the stranded snowmobiler because serchers had to dig their sleds out multiple times.

The stranded snowmobiler was found around 2:10 a.m. Saturday and shoveled his snowmobile out.

No medical attention was needed.
