I am sorry, but I live here. And helicopter rescues/searches are a daily occurence in this state. Part of the price of having mountains that people want to explore. There are avalanches and other winter accidents here all thru the winter that require helicopter search and rescues. Are you going to stop all of these activities?

My point is that these types of rescues have become common place and EXPECTED by those that enjoy these outdoor activities.

However there should be some type of funding source beside mine and your backpockets when it is needed.
