Ski patrol dogs are an integral part of ski slopes. They use their amazing sense of smell to locate people who've been buried under avalanches or who have been injured skiing. A lot of their time is taken up by training, but that doesn't mean they don't have fun! Finding buried treasure is their dearest game, but they also enjoy running and sliding on the snow, riding snowmobiles and chairlifts, and generally having a great time with their human and canine co-workers in the snow. Meet the delightful dogs of Big Sky Resort.

And here are the dogs of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

What utter joy these dogs take in their work! If only we could all enjoy a good life with happy work conditions and save lives at the same time.#dog #rescuedog #avalanchedog #skipatrol #skiresort
