smclelan Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Reading in French isnt my strong suit, however looks like the both survived. Certainly better than the alternative. I think the first one last year resulted in a fatality. That said it is very early to venture out on bodies of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Two adventurous snowmobilers luck played there for ten days. Their snowmobiles went through the ice while they ventured on a small lake in the Lake Sabourin sector, east of Val-d'Or. This is a helicopter passing by chance that survivors them. It happened on November 21, two experienced snowmobilers went for a walk in the Lakes area and Sabourin Benn, between Val-d'Or and Louvicourt. Ice, of course, was too thin, so much so that it gave way under the weight of snowmobiles. Fortunately for them, a helicopter with biologists on board of the Ministry of Wildlife was the inventory of Lake Sabourin caribou. Claude Richard, Owner, Helicopters Transit: '' They saw 2 people who reported distress who were on the ground, on the lake. And then the helicopter located them, he landed only to find that there were 2 holes. Snowmobiles had gone through the ice. There was one of two people who had plunged into the water up to his waist. '' The two men still had some chance since, at most, they spent half an hour took on the lake, they were also in a fairly isolated area, about fifteen miles from their car. In short, the helicopter was in the right place at the right time for them.The Sûreté du Québec, also recommends avoiding water bodies early in the season, because, in fact, on several rivers, ice has not had time to thicken despite the weather cold.
