SILVERSTAR — The sun is shining and snow conditions are ideal for Emergency Services Day at Silver Star Mountain Resort, benefiting the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation.

Free live showcases will be taking place in the village throughout the day including simulated ski patrol lift evacuations, fire rescue crew rope rescues and jaws of life extrications, search and rescue helicopter winch rescue demos, an RCMP police dog demo and more.

Twenty dollars from every lift ticket sold on Saturday will also be donated to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Emergency Services Day will be followed by the Motown Mixer, a fundraiser for Silver Star Fire Rescue.
