Pro tips on the best snowshoeing this season Some outdoor winter staples look decidedly different this year, and others were just canceled. Not so for self-guided snowshoeing. It s pretty easy to socially distance on snowshoe trails, and they re often less crowded than skiing trails. To help everyone make the most of the trails this year, we reached out to local snowshoer and Snowshoe Trail Coordinator for the Central Oregon Nordic Club, Bob Timmer, to get tips for newbies and seasoned snowshoe enthusiasts alike. Timmer has seen a lot of what Central Oregon snowshoeing has to offer. Since the CONC has a volunteer service agreement with the Forest Service, he s coordinated snowshoe trail maintenance at trails including Edison Butte Sno-Park and the sno-parks off Century Drive since 2013.
A skier who fell and suffered minor injuries near Swampy Lakes Sno-park west of Bend was rescued Friday, according to the Deschutes County Sheriffâs Office.
Two deputies and 11 Deschutes County Sheriffâs Office Search and Rescue volunteers responded to a 911 call at 12:27 p.m. that reported that other people on scene were helping the skier, identified as 60-year-old Karen Dye, of Portland, but were going to need additional help to get Dye back to the sno-park.
Search and Rescue volunteers traveled about 2.5 miles on snowmobiles and snowshoed from Swampy Lakes Sno-park to reach Dye at about 2:48 p.m.
Dye was treated at the scene and transported on a snowmobile to the sno-park, arriving at about 3:30 p.m., according to the sheriffâs office.
