Quick Search & Rescue on Grouse

Got back a little while ago from a quick search for two missing hikers on Grouse. Left here at about 10:30, drove to Grouse, up the tram with Doug, Connie & Peter, jumped in a truck, and drove partway down the ski runs to where we thought the hikers might be. Sure enough, a few hollars through the loud hailer and we heard their shouts in response. It took another 10 minutes to reach them - they were on a trail paralleling the ski runs - the man and woman (Glen & Maria) were a little cold, but were otherwise fine. A short 15 minute hike took us back up to the top of Grouse, and then a quick ride down and we were done! A record short rescue.
