He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area's operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.The snow rangers are employees of ______.A.the Forest ServiceB.the Resource BureauC.the Tourist BoardD.the Sports Bureau
