Welcome to Episode 224 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we are joined by outdoor educator Ben Mirkin, the 2024 American Mountain Guides Association Educator of the Year. We’ll talk about avalanche education, backcountry leadership, guiding culture, and how students turn mountain skills into actual careers. A hiker from New Jersey dies after losing the trail near the summit of Mount Marcy, a 15-year-old is evacuated from Mount Washington, Mount Webster rescue updates, snowmobile chaos across New Hampshire including 35 incidents since January 1st, four fatalities in one day in Quebec, and we’ll discuss the long-missing hikers Kevin Race, Stephon Porith Suo, and Michael “Mick” Miller. All this plus smart underwear that monitors your gut health and is power tool company Dewalt now in the snowshoe game?
