Fernie and Sparwood Search and Rescue crews were up late when they teamed up to recover a pair of stranded snowmobilers.
Crews went to find the two in the Coal Creek Pass area.
Teams were able to snowmobile within a short distance before travelling the rest of the way via snowshoe to get their machines out.
SAR officials said the use of a satellite SOS device was crucial in helping the snowmobilers avoid a cold night outdoors.
