Race Against the Avalanche

A SAMPLE CASE STUDY

Captain Sarah "Torch" Thompson and Lieutenant Jake "Iceman" Riley, piloting an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter for the Coast Guard, are dispatched on a search and rescue mission after a major avalanche in the Colorado Rockies. Several skiers are reported missing, and time is critical due to the risk of hypothermia and further avalanches.
