Sharing some pleased information this Friday morning: Beaver Creek Resort is thrilled to welcome their latest avalanche canine trainee, Bridger, to the Beaver Creek Ski Patrol household. Bridger is a ten week old feminine black Labrador from Calhan, Colorado, and will likely be educated by handler Alex Oberg, a fourth yr patroller at Beaver Creek.
Over the subsequent two years, Bridger will prepare to validate with Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment. She will begin with socialization and obedience coaching, earlier than honing her abilities to make use of her nostril to search out scent below snow.
Bridger joins fellow avalanche dogs and their handlers pictured under from left to proper (excessive decision linked in media belongings):
