Listen Later

Season 9 of The Fine Line begins. In this premiere episode, we go deep into a backcountry skiing accident that occurred on May 18, 2024.
Mark Fellermann and Tanner Flanagan recount how a picture-perfect spring day turned into a near-death experience after an accident in the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort backcountry.
Meanwhile, Teton County Search & Rescue volunteer Brook Yeomans explains how this rescue went to the heart of why he wanted to become a volunteer in the first place.
This episode covers the importance of being familiar with your gear, the special bond between ski partners, and how mental health can play a significant role in backcountry accidents.
“Ride the Tram, Ski the ‘Shoe” is the first of six episodes in Season 9. This story was recorded in the studios of KHOL 89.1 FM. Editing and sound are by Melinda Binks. Hosted and produced by Matt Hansen from the Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation.
The Fine Line theme song is by Anne and Pete Sibley, with additional music provided by Ben Winship. The original cover art is by Jen Reddy.
