We are fortunate at Alpine Helicopters to be an industry leader in more than just tourism. Here are some behind the scenes photos from one of our commercial pilots helping with a fire in Banff National Park

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.

A huge thank you to our friends from Sheepdog Brewing for hosting a “First Responder” appreciation night. Together with Mike Koppang from Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section, Alberta Parks, we gave a presentation on some of the challenges we face during mountain rescues. This is our second time being a part of this great event and we hope to be there again next year.
Please check out project_allin and help support a great cause. These are the fine folks that have the backs of first responders here in the Bow Valley.
