For many, the end of ski season signals new beginnings and the start of summer. But for two of Vail Ski Patrol’s avalanche rescue dogs, Rocky and Mookie, the end of this season will mean retirement. But before Rocky and Mookie leave the job, the Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation is working to raise funds for their replacements.
The Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation plans to donate one avalanche rescue dog to Taos Ski Valley this year and two to Vail Ski Resort by next year.
Special to the Daily
“When Corey’s accident happened, we knew right away we wanted to do something in his name. Especially for me, I wanted to make sure he wasn’t forgotten,” said Bobbie Gorron, Corey’s mother and the advisor of the Corey Borg-Massanari Foundation. The Foundation’s goal is to raise money to support outdoor safety initiatives and organizations for a variety of outdoor sports including skiing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking and more.
