A backcountry skier had to be airlifted from the Incline Lake area on March 4.

The man was located at about 9,000 feet. His injuries have not been released.

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office used its Raven helicopter to take him from the wilderness to Mount Rose Highway where he was then transported by ambulance to the hospital.

Washoe’s search and rescue team along with North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District crews assisted with the rescue.
