Montana Trauma Symposium

It's been a busy week. Montana River Guides coordinated the Swiftwater Rescue Training component of the recent Missoula Trauma Conference for regional EMS providers. Members of Missoula County Search & Rescue and Missoula City Fire Department helped out with the training by demonstrating rescue techniques on the Clark Fork River. Aerie Backcountry Medicine set up field strategy stations for hypothermia and patient packaging. Thanks Jamie & Mike from City Fire--and RJ, Elise, Shane, Ben, Mike and Becca from MC S & R.

Yellowstone & Gallatin Rescue Classes

We just completed two swiftwater classes in Big Sky country. Thanks to Geyser Whitewater Expeditions for hosting a class on the Gallatin River and to Wild West Rafting for holding a class opn the Yellowstone Rivers. Great classes, big water, and awesome students. BOth classes were highlighted by highwater riverboard excursions. I experienced Gagoosh on the Gallatin and had a great run with the first year guides from Wild West on the Yellowstone.
