LONGMIRE — Rescuers have found snowshoer Yong Chun Kim alive at Mount Rainier National Park, spokeswoman Lee Taylor said.

He is in stable condition and still in remote terrain, Taylor said. He is conscious and alert and it will likely take rescuers several hours to evacuate him, Taylor said.

Kim will be taken to hospital. Rescuers found him at about 1:40 p.m. at the upper end of the Stevens Creek drainage.

“I think it’s fair to say this is miraculous,” Taylor said.

Kim was found by Mount Rainier patrol ranger Jordan Mammel and two volunteers from the Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol — Pat Fleming and Everett Phillips.
