Heading back up to the pass after our rescue practice - amazing views, beautiful area!
Another successful rescue! Great job Dane and Lucas! Everyone got a chance to practice - but we didn’t get pictures of each rescue - sorry!
Next up - Dane and Lucas - another rescue attempt begins!

Even for experienced downhill skiers - getting used to backcountry skis is a challenging adaptation! Having fun on a big downhill!
Absolutely magnificent terrain as we ski into the backcountry!
