Coach Kelli Rohrig says "thank you" to all of those who participated in last weekend's Junior Avalanche 1 class. The class was so successful, an extended class for next year is already in the works.
Embedded below is a video of the "shovel race" that started the day:
Per Kelli:
Most skiers do not understand the complexity and difficulty of digging an avalanche victim out from consolidated snow. We set up the shovel races so the kids have incentive to dig faster to beat the other teams while learning what it takes to recover a buried victim.
When you see them, please say thank you to the follow ski patrolers: Kreston Rohrig (Big Sky), Bill Hoblitzel (Moonlight Basin), Kristina Whitlow (Moonlight Basin), Nancy Shell (Big Sky), Jimbo Humpries (Big Sky), Alex Bergeron (Big Sky), and Ryan Capes (Moonlight Basin).
