Pebble Creek to host avalanche awareness workshop

INKOM — Pebble Creek Ski Area will be hosting an avalanche awareness workshop on Friday at 6 p.m.

The workshop is for those ages 10 and up, and parental permission is required for those under 18 years old. Attendees can check in at the office. There is no cost to attend the workshop.

Ski and snowboard equipment, including clothes for playing in the snow, is required. Avalanche equipment will be provided, but if people have their own it is always good to practice with what you will be using in the backcountry.

Backcountry skiing and boarding are known for interesting terrain, snow and solitude, but avalanches and other risks are also a part of backcountry touring.

This workshop will present an introduction to avalanche awareness. Topics will include an introduction to stability evaluation, route finding and avalanche rescue. The workshop will take place both indoors and outdoors in the base area of Pebble Creek Ski Area.

The purpose of this workshop is to acquaint young people with the risks involved in winter travel in the backcountry and to provide basic information. This workshop is not designed to “certify” anyone or to suggest travel in out-of-bounds areas.

Parents, if your teen has ever mentioned the wonders of North Bowl or the Backside, then your teen may be venturing outside of the marked patrolled boundary. Please open a dialogue and suggest they attend this workshop. Parents are encouraged to attend with their child.

Max Safety Day set for Saturday at Pebble Creek

INKOM — In conjunction with the National Safety Initiative, Saturday is Max Safety Day at Pebble Creek Ski Area in Inkom.

The object of the initiative is to communicate a strong safety message. We recognize there are inherent risks to skiing and snowboarding. It’s important to keep these risks in perspective and realize that personal responsibility is key in further reducing the frequency of accidents. Activities throughout the day will focus on safety awareness and the role of ski patrol on the mountain.

Ride Another Day is a National Ski Area Association program focusing on speed and collision safety. The program reminds people to Be Ready, Stay Alert and Plan Ahead. The Ride Another Day video will be playing in the lodge.

“Heads Up, Know the Code” is the theme of a Kid’s Poster Contest. Children are invited to draw a poster of one of the seven safety codes. The poster drawing station will be set up in the lodge with crayons and paper available, or they can take a safely coloring book home. Winning posters are entered in the National Contest.

Patrollers will meet with kids during lunch with prizes for those who “Know the Code.” Throughout the day, Patrollers will reward those seen demonstrating extraordinarily safe behaviors and those who know the code.

The feature event is Peter Noorda’s Sweet Turns for Safety Race. Turning helps you control speed and avoid obstacles. The racecourse on the Aspen will have fun twists and turns to show how you can be in control by turning. The Sweet Prize of a candy for all entrants is sponsored by Gem State Distributing. Race time is 2 p.m.
