Accomplishments Spanish Outreach SAC staff published Avalanche Warning information in Spanish via social media and on the radio. This marks the first time that timely, live-saving Avalanche Warning information was posted in both English and Spanish. Through a translator, Ethan presented an Avalanche Awareness class to Spanish-speaking snow removal workers at Webb Landscape. Webb, along with other local snow removal, roofing, and maintenance companies are partnering with the SAC and Friends of SAC to help design content that meets the needs of Spanish-speaking users in our Valley. This includes essential workers who interact with avalanche terrain in our urban interfaces through their work with snow removal. Plans to produce and distribute an Avalanche Awareness video in Spanish are well underway.
Professional Avalanche Rescue Course In February we organized and hosted the valley’s first-ever PROSAR Avalanche Rescue course, a four-day class for professional search and rescue workers. Manuel Genswein—one of the world’s foremost authorities on avalanche rescue—and Silverton Avalanche School staff presented on topics including multiple burials, close proximity burials, deep burials, extended rescue/recovery operations, and urban avalanche rescue. The course was attended by local emergency responders, medical professionals, ski area personnel, ski guides, and SAC staff.
