Two skiers who got lost on Silver Star Mountain Friday were rescued by local search teams.

Vernon Search and Rescue (V-SAR) said in a social media post that rescue teams were dispatched to the mountain on the evening of Friday, Jan. 3, for a report of two missing skiers.

Rescue teams on snowmobiles located the skiers, who were men from out-of-country, at the Vernon Snowmobile Association chalet.

V-SAR stated the men had activated the SOS alarm on their cellphones, and were found safe, dry and uninjured. They were escorted from the chalet and reunited with their family.
