Do you like the OUTDOORS? Have you ever wanted to SAVE LIVES? Would you like to SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY?
And so read the little square ad placed on page B6 of the Jackson Hole Guide on February 3, 1993, launching the effort to build Teton County's first organized volunteer Search & Rescue team.
More than 100 people applied after seeing that ad, which led to the original 30 volunteers for Teton County Search & Rescue. Of those original 30, three members continue to serve: Mike Estes, Mike Moyer, and Tim Ciocarlan. We are all indebted to their incredible service.
"From my earliest years on the team and up through the present, what I treasure most about the team is the honor and privilege of doing hard things with good people; deploying into tough rescue settings to help people on their worst days alongside some of the very finest people I have ever worked with." — Mike Moyer, SR #10

Teton County Search & Rescue began in 1993 with an original class of 30 volunteers. In this video, we look back on an important moment that helped shape the strength and unity of the team, and how the original values of commitment and service became bedrock components that continue to this day.
