English term or phrase: snow ranger
I teamed up with my good friend Al Soucie, the Forest Service snow ranger at Alta, who used to work for me as an avalanche forecaster at the Utah Avalanche Center.

Suelo traducir range como guarda forestal pero snow ranger?? "guarda forestal en nieve"? suena un poco mal, no?
Gracias!!

Notes to answerer
Asker: mmm...me hiciste dudar, pero creo que no, que es agente forestal de alta montaña, porque según lo entiendo, no trabaja para la estación de Alta Ski Area sino para el Servicio Forestal (el estado).

Reference information:
"Snow rangers are mountain professionals. Armed with expertise acquired through years in the backcountry, they’re emergency medical technicians, expert skiers or snowboarders, and accomplished rock and ice climbers. Joosen, Lane, and Johnston all began their mountain apprenticeships as AMC caretakers at Hermit Lake, where they learned the science of avalanche forecasting and the harsh winter weather in the Whites. They explored every gully and slope of the two ravines— knowledge they now use to assess avalanche danger and to keep the mountain’s backcountry users safe."

"A Snow Ranger takes the task of a regular Park Ranger and blast it to the next level. No stranger to adventure, as a Snow Ranger you patrol the slopes and mountain peaks to make sure those who are having fun in the snow are kept safe. While a snowy range of cliffs might be a beautiful scene to wake up to, it can also harbor hazards for anyone venturing in the park area."
