PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT........for the safety of our crews and the mountain rescue groups that we are partnered with, I wanted to pass along a recent post from our friends at North Shore Rescue. I have personally encountered slack lines here in the Bow Valley and from my experiences they are very difficult to see from the helicopter. After reading the comments associated with this post it is not my intention to start a debate on how people choose to recreate, far from it, this is merely a reminder that in certain circumstances these slack lines could be extremely dangerous to our rescue operations. Please feel free to contact us with a location of your slack line if possible and we will add it to our GPS systems. Play safe and enjoy the mountains.

This morning we were dispatched to an avalanche incident in the Lake Louise area by our friends from Parks Mountain Safety. This incident turned out to be the worst case scenario and we are extremely saddened to know that we have lost a member of our community. Our sympathies go out to everyone affected by this accident. The mountains are an unforgiving place, please be safe when enjoying the backcountry.

Thanks to the “Wardens” for finding this old video of Lance Cooper back in the Canmore Helicopters days. Lance was our Canmore base manager and rescue pilot. Lance mentored all of our current rescue pilots and helped make our program what it is today. He is truly missed.

A great video from Avalanche Canada explaining the importance of avalanche gear in the mountains. Recco Advanced Rescue Technology is also a great tool for these types of outdoor adventures. The RECCO reflector is extremely light weight and can be worn in your clothing, as an adhesive helmet reflector and also as an addition to your backpack. Please check out their website @ www.recco.com for more details. Coming soon you will be able to purchase these reflectors in our shop in Canmore as well as our online store. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated back to local groups here in Canmore and the Bow Valley.

Very excited to be out with our new and improved Recco Advanced Rescue Technology helicopter detector for some training today. We are happy to say the new detector performed flawlessly and is now operational. It’s an awesome tool that we are very happy to have in our toolbox here in Canmore and the Bow Valley. Remember that we cannot use this technology if YOU are not wearing a reflector. Wondering where to purchase a reflector?? Coming very, very soon you will be able to purchase them here at our Canmore base as well as our online store. Proceeds from these reflectors will be donated back to groups here in Canmore. A big thanks to Gord Burns for helping us out.
