The Fine Line

49. Pedal Strike: Short-haul Behind Snow King


Listen Later

On July 13, 2022, three friends went out for a mountain bike ride on a trail they'd done too many times to count: the classic Ferrins-West Game-Cache Creek loop just outside of Jackson, Wyo. But the ride gets cut short when one of the riders has a violent crash, leaving him with severe injuries and a complicated rescue. In this episode of The Fine Line, the incident demonstrates how even the most experienced riders sometimes have accidents, even in their own backyard, and the hoops that TCSAR and other agencies must jump through to get someone out of the backcountry safely.
Interviews and writing by Matt Hansen. Editing and sound by Melinda Binks. The interviews were conducted in the studios of KHOL 89.1 FM.
The theme song is by Anne and Pete Sibley, with additional music provided by Ben Winship.
The Fine Line is produced by Backcountry Zero, and sponsored by Stio and by Roadhouse Brewing Co.
