Oliver/Osoyoos Search and Rescue members trudged the snow as part of their winter training exercises last weekend.

In a social media post on Wednesday, OOSAR said team members and trainees carried out the exercises.

"Participants trained on wilderness rescue/first aid, subject transportation, snowmobile and sled use, along with survival skills," reads the post.

The search and rescue team is 100 per cent volunteer-run.
