Gina Laplaca Rescues Stranded Hikers in Snowstorm

Local Hero Gina Laplaca Saves Stranded Hikers in Dramatic Mountain Rescue

By Emily Carter, Mountain View Daily News

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — In a heart-stopping rescue mission that has left the community in awe, local resident Gina Laplaca, 34, emerged as a hero after saving three stranded hikers on the treacherous slopes of Eagle Peak early Sunday morning. The hikers, who had been reported missing the previous evening, were found cold, exhausted, and disoriented after losing their way during a sudden snowstorm.

Laplaca, an experienced mountaineer and volunteer with the Mountain View Search and Rescue Team, was off-duty when she received an urgent call about the missing hikers. Despite the dangerous conditions, she immediately sprang into action, gathering her gear and heading to the trailhead within minutes.

'I knew time was critical,' Laplaca said in an interview after the rescue. 'The weather was getting worse, and those hikers were in real danger. I couldn’t just sit back and wait.'

Using her extensive knowledge of the terrain and her sharp instincts, Laplaca navigated the icy trails in near-zero visibility. After hours of searching, she located the hikers—a family of three, including a 12-year-old boy—huddled under a rocky outcrop, shivering and suffering from mild hypothermia. Laplaca administered first aid, shared her supplies, and guided the group safely down the mountain, where they were met by emergency responders.

'Gina’s bravery and quick thinking saved our lives,' said Mark Thompson, one of the rescued hikers. 'She’s a true hero. We’ll never forget what she did for us.'

The community has since rallied to celebrate Laplaca’s selfless actions. A local café, The Summit Brew, has announced it will name a new coffee blend in her honor, and the mayor has declared next Friday 'Gina Laplaca Day' to recognize her contributions to the community.

'Gina embodies the spirit of Mountain View,' said Mayor Sarah Jennings. 'She’s courageous, compassionate, and always willing to help others. We’re incredibly proud to call her one of our own.'

Laplaca, however, remains humble about her heroic deed. 'I just did what anyone in my position would do,' she said. 'I’m just glad everyone made it home safely.'

The incident has also sparked a renewed interest in mountain safety. Local authorities are urging hikers to check weather conditions, carry proper equipment, and avoid risky trails during winter months.

As for Laplaca, she’s already back to her routine, training for her next big climb—and, no doubt, inspiring others along the way.
