DESCRIPTIONS

SLOPESIDE STRETCHES

Safety comes in all forms including how we take care of ourselves on and off the mountain. If we want to continue performing at our peak, it’s vital to make time to take care of our bodies first.

Mobility Duo will be at Mt. Bachelor this Safety Weekend helping you start your mountain day with 30 minutes of Slopeside Stretches. They will discuss the five aspects of injury prevention and how to maintain longevity on the slopes. Mark and Sarah will stay after for any questions that those may have about the body, performance, and injury prevention overall. This session starts at 8:00 a.m. in the second floor of Rock Bar.

TIMBERLINE MOUNTAIN GUIDES

Learn the basics of backcountry travel and off-piste safety with Timberline Mountain Guides during this 2-hour on-mountain clinic. Meet the guide at the Pepsi Lounge in the lower West Village Lodge. After the indoor portion, you will move out to the snow at the base of Red Chair as they cover tree-well hazards, review best practices for skiing/riding with a buddy, and demonstrate how to properly use an avalanche beacon to perform a search. Participants will then have a chance to carry out a beacon drill of their own with beacons provided by TMG!

AVALANCHE DOG DEMONSTRATION

Send the dogs in! Mt. Bachelor's Avalanche Rescue Dog team, alongside their Pro Patrol handlers, will be demonstrating how they support rescue efforts on the mountain during the 30-minute session. Watch an Avy Dog training exercise that demonstrates how they locate victims beneath the snow, learn about our Pro Patrol's avalanche mitigation and snow safety assessment process, and how our working dogs assist with other key duties across the mountain. Thanks to our partners at Subaru of North America who support our Avy dogs program, we will have plenty of swag giveaways for humans and four-legged friends. Sniff your way over to the West Village Ski Patrol building at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday to meet the dogs.

NATIONAL SKI PATROL EDUCATION TENT

The National Ski Patrol Safety Team will be joining us this Safety Weekend and is an industry leader in the promotion and education of outdoor recreational safety. Stop on by the Safety Tent in the West Village Base Area on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and learn more about the Responsibility Code, Collision Safety, Deep Snow Safety, Lift Safety, and Helmet Safety.
