Summary
Last summer tested Juneau Mountain Rescue with five backcountry fatalities in just three months—four ended in recoveries—and the volunteer team raced to respond, trained for everything from avalanches to medical emergencies. They emphasize “know before you go,” urging hikers to check weather, file trip plans, and share routes. Rigorous training—three times monthly, including technical sessions—keeps them sharp for seasonal risks. They partner statewide with troopers, SEADOGS, and Coast Guard, often deploying under trooper authority. Despite the grit, they’ve pulled off incredible rescues, including four live saves in 48 hours—proof that preparation and teamwork save lives.
