Missing Skiers Located With Thermal Camera Equipped Drones​

Drones with thermal cameras locate lost skiers at Sun Peak Resort.
SARS and SKI PATROL found recent made tracks hours later across a gully while returning after following older tracks unsuccessfully in the middle of the night. Focused drone to new search area and this is what it
found.

Maybe that's what the drones are doing over NY/NJ/PA - looking for missing skiers :LOL:

This is very cool technology, lives will be saved for sure!

They're starting to drop supplies like flares, hot coffee, the weed, glue, handwarmers, sleeping bags, emergency sleeping bags, dog supplies and ale.

I like drones, butt not all.
