Summit County provides backcountry users with an array of opportunities. Whether on a mellow ski tour, a heart pounding winter 14’er accent, an adrenaline enriched snowmobile ride, or an arm quivering ice climb, folks WILL find themselves in situations they are unable to deal with.

SCRG is dedicated to providing active members with opportunities to continue their education in snow and avalanche rescue, technical rescue, search management, medical certifications, and the leadership skills that will carry over into everyday life. With the knowledge and skills we acquire through our membership in the group, the team must have the proper gear to achieve success. Technology advancement has given us the tools to conduct safer, quicker, more reliable means of search and rescue operations. We have jumped on the technology bandwagon with help of the Summit Foundation, our biggest financial supporter. They have provided grant money for avalanche response kits, radios and pagers, vehicle upgrade (both on and off road), two Orion Rescue Sleds, team GPS (Geographic Positioning System) units, and countless other items of vital equipment.

The SCRG Board of Directors is constantly evaluating the future needs of our team. We are looking into purchasing more training tools and allocating more financial resources to continue the education of the active membership. We hope that any ideas regarding equipment needs and training will be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors. These ideas are what will ultimately bring new and exciting possibilities for advancement. We look forward to another fun and exciting year of search and rescue, team building, and continuing education. Thanks to all those who have contributed their time and dedication to make this team what it is today.
