This NCPR Story is an interview with Steve Ovitt, ranger for the Siamese Ponds Wilderness. He discusses Sunday’s rescue of six skiers who went out-of-bounds off the Chatiemac side of Gore.
Darkside Shaman is not a member of Gore Patrol, or Search and Rescue. He’s an accomplished and fit backcountry skier, who owns a pair of fat skis and climbing skins, and was in position to help:
“Six people, a 17 yr old, 2 twenty-somethings, and the Father and 2 kids all went in ABOVE the s-turns on Chatiemac, roughly parallel with the Rumor goat path over on Hawkeye.
