Sublette County’s Tip Top Search and Rescue hosted a public avalanche awareness class. John Kochever, a senior search and rescue member, led the class. As Kochever talked to the group, the sound of snowmobilers revving their engines echoed around. The class is being held at a popular trailhead in the area for backcountry users.
The search and rescue agency in Sublette County has had a busy July so far; however, it was a slow start to the season due to the long, cold spring weather.Tip Top Search and Rescue is a volunteer team that rescues people who are hurt or missing in Sublette County, often deep in the mountains, that other emergency services do not have the capability to help.
