Listeners, welcome! In today's episode I bring you with me to the snowy world of the Mt. Rose Ski Resort near Lake Tahoe to hang out with some avalanche rescue dogs. This week's guest, ski patroller Paulette Schneider, takes us behind the scenes at a training exercise for the Mt. Rose Ski Patrol team, as their K9's Carmen and Baucus hone their cold-weather scenting skills to find subjects hidden beneath the snow. When it comes to being buried in an avalanche, time is obviously of the essence, and there’s nothing as timely as a dog’s nose for saving the day. Join me as I observe a work day for these amazing dogs and their handlers!
