BEND, Ore. Mike Schindler assumed it would take a couple weeks to sell out his seasonlong nordic ski gear rental fleet.
But the co-owner at Bend’s Sunnyside Sports sold out in less than eight hours one day in early November.
“We made it reasonable pricing and sent out an email,” Schindler said. “It was probably 100-plus setups. We had people lining up. That was the real lever of like, oh, wow, there’s a lot of people who are wanting to do this. It was crazy how many people came in and how many people took advantage of that.”
A skier who fell and suffered minor injuries near Swampy Lakes Sno-park west of Bend was rescued Friday, according to the Deschutes County Sheriffâs Office.
Two deputies and 11 Deschutes County Sheriffâs Office Search and Rescue volunteers responded to a 911 call at 12:27 p.m. that reported that other people on scene were helping the skier, identified as 60-year-old Karen Dye, of Portland, but were going to need additional help to get Dye back to the sno-park.
Search and Rescue volunteers traveled about 2.5 miles on snowmobiles and snowshoed from Swampy Lakes Sno-park to reach Dye at about 2:48 p.m.
Dye was treated at the scene and transported on a snowmobile to the sno-park, arriving at about 3:30 p.m., according to the sheriffâs office.

Due to the pandemic, more and more folks are hitting the cross-country ski trails this winter or trying the sport for the first time. Much like local bike shops this past spring and summer, local ski shops are struggling to maintain their nordic ski gear inventory.
