Our hoist operators do their work standing on the helicopter skid, harnessed in, while in flight. Would you ever want to do this?

Today marks the final operational day for one of our founding funding members, Steve Oliver.
Steve has been with AROHWS from the very beginning—over 11 years ago—and during that time has personally rescued dozens of people and helped hundreds more in their most critical moments.
While Steve is hanging up his flight helmet today, he isn’t leaving AROHWS. He will continue on as our President, helping guide the organization he helped build.
To Steve and his family: thank you for your years of commitment, sacrifice, and service. Without people like you, many would never make it home.

What you don’t see: hundreds of hours of training, preparation, and volunteer commitment behind every mission.
Thank you to everyone who supports our team and helps us stay ready to respond when lives are on the line.

Every rescue is backed by hundreds of hours of training. For every hour in the air, dozens are spent on the ground. AROHWS trains multiple SAR teams and our own crews—and your donations make it possible. Donate through the link in our bio.

Winter holidays are coming up quick and many people are heading further out into the mountains than usual to get to the snow. We also love winter adventures, but ensure you are packed for the conditions and have all necessary gear for emergencies. Happy Holidays!
