Montana Swiftwater Rescue Class near Big Sky

This past weekend we taught a class on the Gallatin River that combined Swiftwater Rescue and Wilderness EMT training for Aerie Backcountry Medicine. Great weather, great students and a great Montana River made for a memorable weekend. Thanks to Aerie instructors Josh, Dave and Ellie for all of your help and swimming.
