Book excerpt: Rescue in the Rockies follows Janey, who’s almost 15, as she’s forced to spend the holidays with her grandmother and her grandmother’s new beau, Charlie. Being in Banff, Alberta, isn’t the problem. But Charlie has invited his annoying,16-year-old grandson Max for the stay. When Janey tries to flee the infuriating Max, she finds herself whisked away from present-day Banff and into wide-open Rocky Mountain wilderness. This visit to 1883 is the first of four time-travel adventures. With an unwitting Max, Janey lands in a First World War internment camp, a "Banff Indian Days" celebration and the inaugural Banff Winter Festival. As Janey deals with present-day chaos, including the appearance of an old crush, she tries to figure out what’s causing her mysterious disappearances. What do the four visits have in common, and can Janey solve this mystery before the enemy she's made in the past captures her and Max for good?
Book Synopsis The Rescue of Belle and Sundance by : Birgit Stutz

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2008, snowmobilers spot two abandoned horses high in the Canadian Rockies. Starving and frostbitten, the horses have trampled the ten-foot-deep snow into a narrow white prison. Those who reach them bring hay but also a gun, in case the horses are too far gone. A glint of life in the horses' eyes earns them the hay. The harrowing yet inspiring story of their near impossible rescue -- involving the volunteer efforts of an entire village, first the excavation of a trench six feet deep and over 3280 feet long, and then a nearly 20 mile descent at negative 40 degrees -- is sure to be read in one breathless sitting.

Book Synopsis Guardians of the Peaks by : Katherine M. Calvert
Download or read book Guardians of the Peaks written by Katherine M. Calvert and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2006 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain rescue in western Canada developed through the Canadian Pacific Railway's use of Swiss guides to enhance the climbing experience in the early 1900s. These guides brought their knowledge of mountain rescue to the Canadian Rockies. As climbing gained in popularity with the emerging middle classes after the Second World War, tragic accidents became more common. Two accidents in 195455 (the deaths of a group of female climbers from Mexico on Mt. Victoria and a group of Philadelphia schoolboys on Mt. Temple) forced the government to develop a professional mountain rescue team through the Park Warden Service under the tutelage of Walter Perren (a Swiss guide and the father of mountain rescue in Canada). Perren essentially turned cowboys into competent rescue personnel, and the story takes off from there.Following five principal men through the first 50 years of mountain rescue in Canada, Guardians of the Peaks also looks at all aspects of the rescue experience. It is the story of personal tragedy and the ability of individuals to cope with this stress-laced, demanding occupation.

Book excerpt: * Gripping tales of tragedy and triumph in the mountains * Rescue stories through the eyes of a team member * Historical vignettes of Rocky Mountain Rescue on its 60th anniversary * Proceeds from the book go to support Rocky Mountain Rescue Pagers go off all over Boulder and programmers, grad students, accountants-men and women from all walks of life-drop what they are doing, grab their rescue gear, and head for the hills. Someone is in deep trouble in the mountains and the members of Rocky Mountain Rescue are ready to save a life. Playing for Real describes what goes through a rescuer's head, from the excitement of the initial ring of the pager to searching for and finding victims.

Playing for Real is an evocation of the mountain rescue experience, a history of one of the finest mountain rescue groups in the country, and a celebration of 60 years of saving lives in the backcountry. Royalties from the sale of the book go directly to support the continuing operation of Rocky Mountain Rescue.
