A rescue on Mt. Hood

This is the story of a pretty amazing rescue of some skiers on Mt. Hood a few days ago. It (and the picture) are from SkiPress, which is a free weekly you can find in lots of ski shops and sporting goods stores. And here's a very similar story on the DoD's web site, since servicemen were involved in the rescue.

I hope none of us ever need the services of something like this, but it's heartwarming to know that there are people willing to risk themselves for those they will never know.

PS: This is pretty cool, a Google study of search trends on skiing
