Publisher's Note In Falling Season you'll be introduced to men and women from all walks of life who bond together with an extraordinary common purpose and who, on a moment's notice, put themselves directly in harm's way to rescue those in distress. The season Clifford covers was a time of great change in the Aspen squad, and he writes about the cohesiveness and the conflict with balanced insight. In a series of incisively written stories he explores behind the scenes, while revealing the drama of difficult rescues; the death of one or their own; the sheriff's attempts to control their operations; and a controversial rescue operation that made national news for three days. Clifford shows you the guts of a mountain rescue team from the inside out. This is a story you won't soon forget.
THE FALLING SEASON is Clifford's thrilling account of an insider's life and times on one of America's premier mountain rescue teams.
