Drivers are delivering for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
In the first year of sales for the Keep Colorado Wild Pass, 1.49 million Colorado drivers have paid $29 to include the parks pass on their vehic.
This past year, Summit County Rescue Group volunteers responded to avalanches, lost skiers, hikers sinking so deep into the snow that they lost their shoes, trailside ankle injuries and off-road drivers who got their vehicles.
It was February 2010 and backcountry search and rescue teams and sheriff’s offices across Colorado were getting frustrated. Repeat signals from a personal locator beacon had been received since the previous December in locations from Berthoud Pass to.
From thousands of search hours to national park closures and unique rescues, these are 10 of the incidents that happened this year that required the most search and rescue efforts.
It was a Tuesday in February 2011, and three experienced backcountry skiers, all local to the Aspen area, were skiing in an out-of-bounds area in the East Snowmass Creek Valley. On their third run, they exited.
