Plus i just want to add that Vernon rescue doesn't have alot of resources at their disposal for winter rescues. They basically rely on our local ski and snowmobile club for qualified people for help. Most regular members are also fire fighters and volunteer fire fighters and have very little training and knowledge of our back country.Why not until Christmas? We are on call 24/7 365. Are you on the winch Mike?
Though very well trained in rescue they rely on volunteers for back country access and terrain knowledge.
BTW, most of them cannot ride sleds worth poop and you should see what rescue has for sleds....LOL....thus why i'm a valuable asset.
