BACK COUNTRY SKIERS IN COLORADO

So I was in Wal-Mart yesterday with a friend that was getting a hunting permit. The guy at the counter told me there was "Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue Card" it covers anything that you would have to pay for in the back country, like if you needed a heli to rescue you or anything like that. It's only $12 and it's good for five years. I just thought I would pass that alone for the people that did not know that!

shyt, ok, DANG>>>>>
Colorado residents and visitors are well served by dedicated volunteer search and rescue teams, but mission costs are often in the thousands of dollars. By purchasing a CORSAR card you are contributing to the Search and Rescue Fund, which will reimburse these teams for costs incurred in your search and rescue. Funds remaining at the end of the year are used to help pay for training and equipment for these teams. Anyone with a current hunting/fishing license, or boat, snowmobile, ATV registration is already covered by the fund.
The card is not insurance and does not reimburse individuals nor does it pay for medical transport. Medical transport includes helicopter flights or ground ambulance. If aircraft are used as a search vehicle, those costs are reimbursed by the fund. If the aircraft becomes a medical transport due to a medical emergency, the medical portion of the transport is not covered.

Well...so if you need to be transported by heli you are charged, if it just rescues you and takes you back to be "base" or "command center" you are not charged.
