Do all heroes really wear capes? No, and the professionals who specialize in avalanche rescue never would - although they often wear red...sans tights - but they deserve a heartfelt thank you. This episode is a special opportunity to hear directly from those who show up when we need them most. We hope to never have to call them, but should listen closely to what they have to share with us.

In this episode, Michael Ackerman, Dave Richards, Chrissie Oken, John Reller, and Jeremy Jolley bring you the Season 10 Rescue Roundup. There’s something for everyone in here - whether you are a seasoned patroller or a recreational skier hoping to never need to be rescued.

Episode Highlights:

- New GPS-enabled emerging technology for more powerful transceiver searching capabilities. Flux lines a thing of the past? PRO transceiver tests?

- How do you shave seconds or minutes during a rescue?

- Train constantly and accurately, but during a rescue, slow down. There are no excuses not to train with your transceiver.

- How to get involved with your local Search & Rescue (SAR) group.

- Technology advancements in the Search & Rescue field.

- Airbag packs.
