Description


Yours truly on an ATV. The ski slope is the Kolben, one of several local slopes around Oberammergau. This slope has been kept maintained with snow-making equipment. My grandnephew works here full-time on the ski patrol and mountain rescue. They have a facility at the base of the slope with sleeping quarters, kitchen, and training facilities, including a climbing wall. When on call they stay there. Equipment includes all the communications gear, rescue vehicles, tracked ATVs like the one in this picture, and the use of a helicopter when needed. This job looks like a lot of fun, but bears a lot of responsibility, especially the mountain rescue part. It is these guys that are called upon to rescue climbers stuck on mountains. To stay in shape and keep their skills honed they are constantly practice climbing. On 30 December 2015, while on a four men climbing exercise just below the peak of the Zugspitze, one of the team members fell a 1,000-ft to his death. This picture was taken on 3 January 2017, Sig...

Yes they have a great responsibility. I assume that your grandnephew can go to the "Stammtisch" you've posted lately :-) Too sad to hear about the loss of one of his colleague... You look in good shape on your portrait ! It is nice to see you :-) Great capture
