Hollyburn Medical Rescue
Yesterday there was a medical rescue on Hollyburn Mountain.
Just after 9am Tuesday morning a 20 year old male snowshoer fell near the summit of Hollyburn Mountain as he was descending the marked trail. He fell approx. 20m and dislocated his right shoulder.
Cypress Nordic Patrol responded and advised NSR. It was decided to launch an immediate Heli Response due to the extremely icy conditions. A NSR member was quickly dropped in to assist and the subject was brought up to the summit to the waiting chopper. He was then transported to the Cypress parking lot, and then to the hospital.
The radio interoperability of Talon, NSR and Cypress was key in making this call a success.
