The Canyons Ski Patrol's blog

As part of NSAA safety week, The Canyons Ski Patrol did a public dog demo and meet the avalanche dogs at Red Pine Lodge yesterday.  We had about 50 kids participate, including putting a few of them in dog holes with patrollers.  The event was a great success for both avalanche awareness and WBR visibility - a great educational tool for the general public.  The dogs had a great time showing off their stuff as well.

The Canyons Rescue Training Center is up and running in it's new home.  It took a little while longer than we hoped, but we finally got enough snow to bury the targets and open it up.  It is currently located at Mid Mountain on the Chicane ski run - about 100 Yards north of it's old location.  It's still a great, convienent place to stop and do a few quick drills to keep your skills sharp on your way to Tombstone and beyond, or use it to learn your beacon and hone your skills.  Stay tuned for beacon seminars later this month.
