Alpine Rescue Team based in Evergreen, Colorado is a mountain search and rescue unit dedicated to saving lives through search, rescue, and mountain safety education. The Team is composed totally of volunteers and is available upon request to help in mountain search and rescue problems anywhere, under the authority of local jurisdiction agencies.
We utilized the services of ART this past weekend and witnessed firsthand how incredibly lucky we are to have these men and women giving their time, dropping everything to keep our community members, visitors, and our racers safe - absolutely free of charge. Everyone involved is fine.
