Director News – coavalanche.org
Yesterday (Wednesday) Trevor Miller was in Joseph after a backcountry ski outing in the Wallowas and we finally met face to face. Trevor is the founder of Central Oregon Avalanche Association. Like ours, his association is a grass roots effort to get the avalanche safety word out for the mountains nearest Bend and is based in Bend, OR. Please check out their website: coavalanche.org. We talked about working together for mutually beneficial goals since our two organizations will cover most of the regions east of the cascade crest. We are thinking of making a trip this April up to the Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle after a cordial invitation not long ago from Mark Moore, the director there.
WAC looks forward to perhaps planning certain events along with coavalanche to promote the avalanche safety word.
A special thanks to Ken Bronec for doing such a thorough job with last weeks summary. Some thoughts are going through my mind about when to terminate the weekly summary. I’m thinking of Friday April 9. Most centers complete their normal schedules by mid April and we may follow that lead. If enough readers wish us to go longer – the squeaky wheel gets the grease – so speak up.
