JACKSON, Wyo. — On the evening of Thursday, Aug. 14, Teton County Search and Rescue (TCSAR) volunteers responded to a call on Teton Pass. The call came in around 8 p.m. from a 34-year-old local mountain biker.

The biker had crashed while descending Fuzzy Bunny trail, a downhill-only trail that begins near the overflow lot to the east of the Teton Pass summit. According to Mountain Bike the Tetons, Fuzzy Bunny is about 1.3 miles long and considered a double-black diamond or “very difficult.”

The bike accident occurred about 500 feet from the trailhead, according to a social media post by TCSAR. Volunteers responded to the callout near the top of the Pass and hiked to the patient with the wheeled litter.

The video posted on Instagram and Facebook depicts the TCSAR team packing and transporting the patient up the trail on the wheeled litter after dark with headlamps. An ambulance was waiting to transport the patient to the hospital. The post did not disclose any of the patient’s injuries.

TCSAR has performed multiple rescues of mountain bikers on Teton Pass this summer.
