18 members of Vernon Search and Rescue responded to the request of the
RCMP to assist in the rescue of 2 snowmobilers in the Beauleu Lake area
on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The couple, in their 60’s, had driven their truck up Beauleu Lake Road
until they couldn’t go any farther, unloaded their snowmobile and set
off for their cabin at the lake. When the starter rope on the snowmobile
broke they were forced to set out on foot back to their vehicle. When the exhausted and cold couple was located by Search and Rescue
members on snowmobiles, the couple had trudged approximately 11
kilometers through the deep snow. They were taken to the search base
camp for evaluation prior to heading home in their truck.
