Bridger Bowl Avalance Rescue Team

It takes two years for these dogs to train and get certified as avalance rescue dogs. Relying entirely on scent, their job is to search out avalance victims. Riding the lifts and following the patrols down the hill are all in a days job for this pack. Bridger Bowl, a ski area near Bozeman, Montana, is home to this six dog team. See a short film with Fay, Olive and Stella at The Powder Plex.
