When backcountry skiers are caught in avalanches, the mountain rescue team mobilizes a search. Here, dramatic avalanche footage, and a simulated search.

A gripping account of an actual body-recovery mission, told through video clips, book excerpts, and photographs.

“Rescue work is very stressful; it’s a place where all pretense is stripped away, and you get raw human interaction. Few people realize that these aren’t a bunch of hardbody Lone Rangers; these are ordinary people struggling with egos and feelings, wickedly critical of each other–yet willing to put their life on the line for a fellow team member.”
–Author Hal Clifford

“If I think it’s messy, brutal, if I think somebody is going to die and scream and fight and leave us all with nightmares for a year, I’m going to send the people I think can handle it. If you’re afraid of fire, and I send you out on a downed plane where there are six charred bodies, it’s probably going to do things to your psyche that I can’t imagine. I don’t want to do that
to you.”
–Rescue leader Tom McCabe
