Three of four snowmobilers from Alberta and Saskatchewan have been fined under the National Parks Act after they were rescued from an area west of Golden in mid-January.

Four snowmobilers became stranded in the Quartz Creek area on January 16 and paid $4000 to have their sleds helicoptered out.

According to an online court document, Ryland and Tannis Collison and Dylan Roth were fined $500 each for operating a snow vehicle in the park without a permit.

The fourth member of the party, Thomas Wolf, was scheduled to appear in a BC courtroom on Wednesday.
