Crews rescue snowboarder trapped in North Cascades

Crews rescued a snowboarder trapped on top of Tabletop Mountain in the North Cascades over the weekend.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island received an alert Friday night saying a snowboarder was trapped and holding onto a tree to keep herself from falling off a steep cliff.

Ski patrol was on scene but couldn’t execute a steep ice climb at night, according to a press release.

After finding the snowboarder, crews were able to get the woman into a hoisting vest and bring her into the helicopter.
