Welcome to Big Woofie Sports These dogs help search for avalanche victims. They undergo rigorous training with the National Ski Patrol at Alpine Meadows. Goldens have been found to have the best noses for locating people trapped under a few feet of snow. One Australian Shepard has also made the team. You can help support this program by buying great T-shirts and long-sleeve shirts (women love them) at the ski patrol huts on the mountain at Alpine Meadows. |
