Shasta, a 10-week-old golden retriever, is Mt Bachelor s new avalanche rescue dog

Shasta, a 10-week-old golden retriever, is Mt. Bachelor’s new avalanche rescue dog Updated Feb 23, 2021; Facebook Share For the past two weeks, skiers and snowboarders have enjoyed seeing Shasta get familiar with the mountain. Shasta’s handler, Drew Clendenen, a ski patroller at Mt. Bachelor for the past nine years, walks her around the resort’s base area and takes her on snowmobile rides. Soon she will learn to ride a chairlift, Clendenen said. By next winter, Shasta will be trained to find someone trapped under the snow. “The end goal is you have a dog that uses its nose to smell someone that could be 10 feet in the ground,” Clendenen said.

C O avalanche danger high amid deadly season around the country

C.O. seeing high avalanche danger: How you can stay safe (Update: Adding video, comment from backcountry skiers, Mt. Bachelor, Central Oregon Avalanche Center) BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Recent heavy snowfall and wind has made for dangerous avalanche conditions in the Central Oregon Cascades. And in a deadly year for avalanches around the country, backcountry skiers need to be hyper-aware of the conditions. Kevin Grove, a Central Oregon Avalanche Center board member, knows the dangers of avalanches all too well. January 2010, I skied a slope on Middle Sister that was unstable, Grove recalled to NewsChannel 21 on Monday. He triggered an avalanche on the slope.

Tumalo Mountain backcountry

Tumalo Mountain is no secret to backcountry skiers and snowboarders in Central Oregon. Just across Century Drive from Bachelor, Tumalo is probably the most accessible backcountry spot in the region. Backcountry enthusiasts can spend a full day doing laps up and down the bowl on Tumalo. The skin track starts at Dutchman Flat Sno-park and climbs 1,400 feet up the south side of the mountain to the summit. Most skiers use alpine touring or telemark gear and apply climbing skins to their skis to skin up the mountain. Snowboarders do the same with split boards. Backcountry snowriders should be prepared with transceivers, probes and shovels and know how to use them in case of an avalanche. The Central Oregon Avalanche Center (coavalanche.org) provides avalanche forecasts on its website as a way of informing backcountry enthusiasts of snow conditions and avalanche risks.
