PGS was teaching an Avy L2 course for Seattle Mountain Rescue when they received a call about an incident in the Slot... Check it out.

Glad to see the rescue went well. We had worried thoughts near I-90. Heal well, impromptu birdman! Big thank yous to SMR/King County SAR!

Glad everyone made it out OK.  Any more details about this accident?

Hope the injured party heals quickly.

Great work SMR, PGS, and KC Air Ops - teamwork at its finest !

Great work by all involved, including Ari and his wife for keeping their cool on what could have been a long wait.

Thanks guys.  Yes, Yak-Nam and I are still working through how if any of these small details went differently, the outcome would have been far more troublesome. 

Nice work, all.
I am very glad to hear that things were not worse.
Heal quickly quickly.

Fascinating to watch the Heli extraction in such swift action. I only caught a couple photos from the ridge. Thanks for sharing that Martin and thanks for your assistance!!

Way to go Proski & Guide!  Would have been tricky without you guys swooping in...
