A Mt Bachelor ski patroller was partially buried during avalanche mitigation.
The "small avalanche" occurred before the resort's 9 a.m. opening while the ski patrol was on routine daily safety routes on the southeast side of Mt. Bachelor, above the tree line at about the 8,000-foot elevation, Drew Jackson, the resort's director of marketing and communications, told NewsChannel 21.
"The patroller’s partner, another ski patroller intentionally stationed at a safe observing point, witnessed the incident and successfully rescued the affected patroller, who did not suffer any injuries," the resort spokesman said.
