A skier had to be rescued last week after skiing out of bounds on the back side of Mt. Rose Ski Resort.

The skier left the resort through the Manzanita Bowl gate and had failed to turn back toward the resort before skiing past what the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Hasty Team described as the "point of no return" in a post to their Facebook page.

The skier's GPS location had been pinged from their cell phone and four Hasty Team skiers slowly made their way towards their location down a steep, icy, wind-scoured section of Manzanita Bowl.

The rescue team found the skier uninjured and in good spirits. The skier was given water and some snacks before everyone continued moving downhill toward Davis Creek Park over the next two hours.
 
The skier was escorted to the park with no issues and was reunited with her husband.
