The woman was evaluated at the base of Ski Santa Fe and was found to have no injuries. She declined medical treatment. She was wearing appropriate clothing but did not have skis or snowshoes. She was accompanied by her dog, Munk.
The hiker said she had gotten off the trail and, due to deep snow, was unable to make her way back to Aspen Vista Road.
RECC received the call at approximately 3:30 p.m., and the operation concluded at 6:00 p.m. The Santa Fe Fire Department, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, and Ski Santa Fe worked together to retrieve the hiker just outside Ski Santa Fe boundaries.
