PRESEASON PREP - Search dog Ember and handler/patroller Jess Olson of the Brundage Mountain Resort Avalanche Resource Team watch on Saturday while an Air St. Luke’s helicopter from Boise lands in the lower Centennial Parking Lot at Brundage Mountain. Brundage Ski Patrol members participated in training last weekend to prepare for the upcoming ski season, including a demonstration of the ability of the air ambulance to lift an injured skier or snowboarder directly from the resort to a hospital.
