Listen "Season 9 Trailer: The Fine Line Returns on May 29"
Episode Synopsis
A new season of The Fine Line drops on May 29. Join Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation and Backcountry Zero as we bring you honest conversations about how accidents happen in the backcountry, and how first responders solve complex problems to get people home safely.
In the first of six episodes, Season 9 begins with a story about a backcountry ski accident outside the boundary of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Then, we dive into two separate climbing accidents on the Grand Teton, an all-night rescue of an injured hunter deep in grizzly country, a candid conversation about how mental health is a backcountry safety issue, and a ‘slam dunk’ snowmobile rescue that turned into an epic all-nighter for Teton County Search & Rescue.
The Fine Line features music from former longtime Jackson residents Anne and Pete Sibley, Victor, Idaho-based musician Ben Winship, and original cover art by Jen Reddy. The show’s editing and sound are by Melinda Binks. Matt Hansen is the host and producer.
Season 9 of The Fine Line is sponsored by Roadhouse Brewing Co. and by Arc’teryx. The show can be heard every Thursday at 2 p.m. on KHOL 89.1 FM in Jackson, Wyo., and downloaded for free wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more at BackcountryZero.com.
