We are proud to work with our partners at @golden.search.and.rescue. #Reshare GADSAR was tasked by RCMP to respond to an injured skier near Amiskwi lodge. The subject sustained a hip injury and the party activated their InReach. SAR techs long lined the subject to a staging area and then loaded them into the helicopter. They were flown to Golden and transferred to BCAS.

One could say that the Alberta Rocky Mountain tradition of having tea on a mountaintop began at Lake Agnes. Since 1905, the @lakeagnesteahouse has been serving, with pride, fine loose-leaf teas to visitors from around the world. Here is a shot from @johnmstump of our aicraft servicing this historic tea house in the fall.
Lake Agnes was named for the original First Lady of Canada - Lady Agnes MacDonald, the wife of Canada’s first Prime Minister. In 1886, Lady MacDonald visited Lake Agnes and was delighted by the beauty of this idyllic lake and the hanging valley it sits in.
The Lake Agnes Tea House was originally built in 1901 by the Canadian Pacific Railway as a refuge for hikers and started serving tea in 1905. The log building was replaced in 1981 but still features the original windows, tables and chairs.

Who needs to travel to New Zealand or Europe when there’s a glacier in your backyard? The Haig Glacier is home to the Beckie Scott High-Performance Training Centre (BSHPTC) for winter athletes to train during the summer. To reach the camp, cross-country skiing athletes must hike or helicopter up the 3,075-meter summit of Mount Jellicoe. Thanks for the behind the scenes footage @_dylantylr

Over the weekend, dispatchers from Kananaskis Emergency Services (KES) were alerted to a serious incident on Northover Ridge. A hiker had fallen off the east side of Northover Ridge, 1-2 kilometres north of Northover Summit and the reporting party could not see the fallen hiker from the ridge. The fallen hiker had slid approximately 20 metres on scree and then fallen an additional 20 metres.
A rescue operation was initiated and rescuers were able to spot the fallen hiker from a helicopter. Members of the Kananaskis Country Public Safety (KCPS) team were able to make contact with the subject who had a broken leg and other injuries; however, poor weather conditions prevented a sling rescue. Two members of the KCPS team stayed with the subject overnight and they were transferred to hospital the next morning.
We are fortunate to have trained specialists and dedicated partners responding to incidents in the mountains and across the province. This is one example of a coordinated response that included trained specialists from KCPS, KES, conservation officers, the RCMP, Alberta Health Services and our partners at Alpine Helicopters. We are thankful everyone is safe!
The mountains can be unpredictable. It is important to know that the weather can change quickly, leading to delayed rescue. In this case, poor weather conditions delayed the rescue to the next day.
Know before you go: research the route you plan to take, check local weather forecasts and consider adjusting plans in case of inclement weather, read the latest trail reports and advisories, and carry an emergency communication device like a satellite messaging device when visiting areas outside of cellular service. When hiking in the mountains, it is important to ensure you are prepared for cold temperatures and conditions, even in August.
