Fernie SAR was activated this afternoon by the RCMP to respond to a report of an injured skier at Tunnel Creek Cabin.

With very little legal flying time remaining, Fernie SAR Techs responded via helicopter for a rapid extrication of the injured party.

The skier, a young woman from Fernie, was handed over to BCAS with a lower leg injury.
