I'm tired of this. Tax payers once again get stuck with the bill. Volunteers bust their ass because you have STUPID kids along with STUPID parents who apparently think that checking the forecast before going up 6,000ft isn't a priority. If they had they would have known snow level was coming down below the summit. Even if the forcast doesn't say freezing level there when you are going up this high you should have clothes to last a few days plus a tent and a way to make a fire.
Bunch of IDIOTS!
The Parents letting their kids go up there with what they had in equipment should pay for this rescue not us.
Enough is enough!
All 3 hikers safely off Snohomish County peak

GRANITE FALLS -- A Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman says all three teens who found themselves stranded by bad weather on a Snohomish County peak are safely off Three Fingers Mountain.
Lt. Kathi Lang said that after one teen walked out Wednesday, the weather cleared sufficiently for a rescue helicopter to pluck the other two teens off the mountain in separate trips Wednesday evening. One of those two had hiked part-way down with rescuers. Lang said the third teen was suffering from back pain from a prior injury.
Lang said the three boys were "about 17." They are from the Marysville-Arlington area.
They called for help by cell phone Tuesday night after they encountered fog, snow, rain and cold on the 6,800-foot mountain.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said rescuers reached the teens Wednesday morning and started warming them with portable heaters in tents.
