Triangulation that occurred during the girls’ phone calls helped dispatch workers replay the girls’ possible location to search and rescue crews. Their calls began around 5:30 pm on Saturday.
They spent several hours on Big Mountain after skiing out of bounds. Crews located the girls at two in the morning.
The latitude and longitude info had proven useful.
“The responders that were there said they pretty much walked right up to them,” said Search and Rescue Coordinator Brian Heino.
They had ended up on logging land and took cover under a wood pile. It was the ending everyone had hoped for.
“It is nice to get closure on this, knowing the girls were okay,” said Provo.
