Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue volunteers rescued an injured skier east of Swampy Lakes Sno-Park on Sunday.
Deschutes County Dispatch received a 911 call at around 11:34 a.m. about an injured woman on the Tangent Trail who needed help getting back out to the parking lot at Swampy Lakes Sno-Park, according to Deputy Kyle Joye.
Six Search and Rescue volunteers used snow shoes to hike out to the 31-year-old Redmond woman, and reached her on the trail at around 12:30 p.m.
They gave her a physical assessment and then carried her to the highway on a litter.
The woman was able to get back into her own car and said she would seek further medical care on her own.
