Snowmobile group 🏔️❄️
The HSSR snowmobile team specializes in the use of snowmobiles for search and rescue in mountains, glaciers, and other challenging areas. Members of the team participate in calls where speed and access to remote areas are crucial, whether in storms, avalanches, or other situations that require powerful vehicles.
To ensure safety and efficiency, group members regularly maintain the snowmobiles, monitor their condition, and ensure they are always ready for use. The group also holds regular training trips where they practice driving techniques in deep snow, maneuverability in difficult terrain, and the use of navigation devices in mountains and glaciers.
The snowmobile group leaders oversee the maintenance of the snowmobiles and ensure that the equipment is in top condition for demanding conditions.
The goal of the snowmobile team is to always be prepared to deal with challenging situations, whether it's a rescue or search in the mountainous terrain of Iceland. ❄️🚜
