Deschutes County: Ski Team

Central Oregon features some tantalizing back country ski hills, back country snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. This team gives the community piece of mind that if something goes wrong, they are out in force to find you. Featuring a specialty cross country, back country, and alpine unit, these Search & Rescue Team members are trained to find lost or injured snowboarders, skiers, and snowshoers. They are familiar with the area terrain and know the places things are likely to go wrong!

The equipment requirements and training for this team is no small cup of hot chocolate. A special thank you is in order to our sponsors for helping with the training and equipment demands that keep their skills sharp, and their ski's waxed!

Ski Team Mission Statement:

The Ski Team is trained and ready for any mission the Incident Management Team deems the ski team to be an effective resource. Any terrain, any conditions, any time of day.
