Anyone heard what happened? Someone was transported off the top and airlifted from Burgess Meadow.

Hope they are ok. Be safe out there everyone.

Big thanks to the Lake Wenatchee Fire and Rescue, Cascade Medical, and Chelan & USFS Sheriff Officers!

Just checked phone, texted wife from deer camp, bottom of maverick switchback at 2:00. We didn't see anyone at the saddle ~1:50. No activity at Burgess when we went through. Must have been on one of the lower trails.
