Avalanche: When the Snow Slides
left to right: The bowl at Pelican Butte, There is a sled down there, debris, and Kevin Geaney being dug out.
by Mike Lancaster
Wesley Amos a 28 year old man from La Pine died January 2nd while snowmobiling the Roller Coaster area on
Paulina Peak. A 200 yard wide slide caught Amos and
witnesses feared the worse. Deschutes County Search and
Rescue was called immediately for help. Amos was found
dead before Search and Rescue arrived. Search and Rescue checked the area and verified that no one else had
been caught in the slide.
Further to the south on the same day on Pelican Butte
another rider, Kevin Geaney, was luckier. He took a 600
foot ride on an avalanche down the side of Pelican Butte.
He ended up face up with one hand sticking out of the
snow. A different unrelated party of snowmobilers further
up the butte were videoing the action. (warning strong
adult language)

After watching the above video anyone should have a
new and stronger respect for how quick and powerful an
avalanche is. The eight photos to the right show time lapse
of the first 10 seconds of the video.
Oregon does not have publicly funded, state or federal,
avalanche program. There are back country users in central Oregon that have set up a website and are collecting
user reports on avalanches here in Oregon to make the
case to the state and federal government that resources are
needed here.
It is absolutely critical that all witnessed avalanches in
Oregon, regardless of size, are reported. Oregon has very
few resources for avalanche forecasting and such, outside
of Mt. Hood. We have to collect data in order to make the
case that Oregon needs these resources as well. Unfortunately, this has been somewhat difficult in the past, and
there has been little to no coordination.
Ben Hansen has been working closely with a group that
is spearheading the efforts to get these resources, the Central Oregon Avalanche Association (COAA).
www.coavalanche.org
We have created a simple online reporting system that
anyone can use to submit avalanche data. It is very basic
right now, as we wanted to get it out there. It will mature
and evolve over time. Even if you do not have all the
information that is requested PLEASE send in what you
have. You can access the Oregon EARS (Electronic
Avalanche Reporting System) at:
ears.sledspace.com
If you do witness a slide, please try and document it as
completely as possible, photos and a thorough description
of the snow and conditions are important to have.
By making reports you very well could be saving lives
down the road.

A Message From Your President
John Vogel, OSSA President
Happy New Years to all.
I hope a good share of you will be attending the
2010 OSSA Convention in John Day the week of
January 19-24 with me. Looking at the calendar
of events it should be a full week of fun. I will get
the pleasure of seeing some of the trails in the seat
of the Grant County Snowballers groomer. Ron
Greb tells me it will be an experience I won’t forget. If you can’t make it to John Day for the
OSSA Board/membership meeting, try to attend
one of the other two board meetings (April or
August) this year. Attending a board meeting
helps you to better understand the purpose and
workings of OSSA.
The Oregon State Snowmobile Association
(OSSA) was formed many years ago to serve the
interest of snowmobile owners, to defend such
owners against discriminatory legislation, and
promote regulations for the betterment of snowmobilers. OSSA has worked for many years to
provide an image of safety, protect and enhance
all natural and environmental resources, and pro-
tect land usage by working with the Regional and
local Forest Service to keep riding areas open.
OSSA works very hard to develop a fraternal
spirit among local snowmobilers and other winter
recreationalist to provide a medium for the
exchange of snowmobiling information. OSSA
participates in the annual Fly-In to Washington
D.C. to discuss snowmobile related issues with
your congressional representatives and national
land managers. OSSA represents snowmobilers
on the State and Federal level with a voice in the
American Council of Snowmobile Association
and the International Snowmobile Council. The
Oregon State Snowmobile Association Board,
local club officers, and members participate in a
wide variety of volunteer projects and charities to
promote the image of snowmobilers across the
state.
OSSA is there to insure that snowmobilers in
the state of Oregon can continue to enjoy their
sport. Your membership dues makes this happen,
but your participation is even more important.
See you in John Day
By: Peggy Spieger
OSSA Executive Director
The Oregon State Snowmobile
Association offers our thoughts
and prayers to the family of Wesley Amos of La Pine who lost his
life in an avalanche January 2nd.
The avalanche occurred in the
Newberry Crater in an area
known as the roller coaster when
a 200’ wall of snow came down
through the trees. Nearby snowmobilers dug him out but by the
time they found him it was too
late.
This is not an area that is commonly thought of as high risk
avalanche territory but it is a
reminder that people should use
caution and think about the way
the weather can impact the terrain. Avalanches can be triggered
by significant snowfall followed
by rain or major temperatures
changes creating an unstable
snowpack. The Central Oregon
Avalanche Association, a group
formed last fall, aims to provide
more information for snowmobil-
ers
and
other
winter
recreationists.
Be prepared – carry the essentials with you – and ALWAYS
practice safe snowmobiling.
Never ride alone. Be aware of
other hazards that may be out
there. Winter logging operations
are in progress in some areas.
The snow groomers may be out
there as well as non motorized
users such as skiers or sled dog
teams. Expect the unexpected.
The Grant County Snowballers, the Chamber and all the
people of Grant County are looking forward to hosting the OSSA
Convention in John Day. Rides
start January 19th. The Board
meeting will be on Friday and the
General Membership meeting
will be on Saturday January 23rd.
There is a Friday night hospitality and the banquet on Saturday
night. Also present on Saturday
will be several of our snow patrol
deputies from the various Sheriff’s departments.
Many clubs have a lot of activities scheduled in the next couple

The 4-Corners Snowmobile
club held its annual Holiday
Playday at Kelly Prairie Sunday,
December 27. The snow conditions were very poor, but over 15
members showed up to enjoy the
sunny day on the prairie. Everyone in attendance enjoyed hot
dogs, chili, smores and cocoa.
Morrow County Grain Growers,
the local Polaris Dealer, brought
up two snowmobiles and gave
demo rides.
The beautiful
weather and fun conversations
made the day a success. Any one
interested in becoming a member

Woods on 01-15 & 01-16, 01-22
& 01-23, and 01-29 & 01-30.

activities & spend the night. Anyone that can volunteer time to
help make this a success would be
greatly appreciated. For more
information please contact Bruce
Cullen @ 541-892-5424.
The Candlelighter’s event
which is approaching fast will be
February 02-20-10 at Lake of The
Woods. This involves all District
5 clubs and we need a lot of club
involvement to make it successful! It involves all kinds of activities, games including a radar run.
All proceeds will go to the Candlelighter’s Cancer Children’s
fund.
The Snowmobile Convention is
up coming in John Day on 01-1910 to 01-24-10, with the Dinner
on 01-23-10. We hope to see you
there!

We are trying to groom the
trails, but finding it is very difficult, with the current level of
snow. We are looking to do some
grooming at Pelican Butte soon!
We had a good turnout for the
Medicine Lake New Years Snowmobile camp out. We were able
to ride all over and found lots of
fresh snow each day! Unfortunately I (Bruce Cullen) was not
able to ride because the day
before departing for Medicine
Lake, I fell in the drive way &
broke my wrist! But we still went
& I was the camp host. I did get
one ride in, thanks to my wife!
Somehow she was able to steer
my snowmobile (which was new
to her) and keep me on behind, at
least keep me on most of the
time! All this was accomplished
while maneuvering through fresh
powder!!
Please keep signing those Petitions for the Crater Lake Wilderness & keep writing to your representatives in expressing your
opinions on this proposal. It’s
extremely important that we don’t
lose sight of this. A bad outcome
will affect all who enjoy using our
natural surroundings, now &
future generations.
The next General Club meeting
is Tuesday 01-12-10 @ 6:00pm.
Hope to see everyone at Mia’s

Note from VP Jeff Ranger
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
attended our annual Snowdrifters
Christmas Potluck! Despite the
cold temperatures and icy roads,
we had a great turn out. There
was lots of good food, plenty of
gifts and loads of laughter. We
were able to dine with many of
our current members as well as
get to know several new members. A good time was had by all!
With any luck we will be able to
have a repeat at the Crab Feed
later this month.

Anybody need some extra
snow?? We have been getting
pounded with the stuff over here
on the east side.
I have been so busy with a
nasty cold and plowing snow out
of my driveway and other places
that I have not even been for a
ride yet. We had one storm that
was predicted for like 4 to 8
inches the next morning that winter storm warning was canceled,
then about 11:00AM it started
snowing, it snowed all night ending up with 12+ inches of new,
and then rain came in on it for
the next 12 hours – talk about a

had a great time. When in town

as they always support our club
and its functions to the max.
Our December meeting was
well attended and all enjoyed a
delicious potluck dinner and it
seems like all we could talk about
was wishing that the extreme cold
weather would end and we would
get some snow. Did I just say
that?? Yah - the cold ended after
3 weeks and did we ever get
snowed on! Then it was way
cold for another week then more
snow and rain. It’s just typical

On December 12th we held
our Christmas party up at 10
Miles Snopark. A few hardy
souls went out snowmobiling on
skimpy snow, but all of the action
was at our “house.” With a roaring fire, beautiful decorations
complete with a tree and surrounded by gifts, bountiful food
provided by the 40 plus attendees, it was fun, fun, fun. With
prez Tammy mc’ing, gifts were
handed out to those lucky enuf to
hold winning tickets – 19 in all.
Then we did our gift exchange,
numbers 1 thru 37. No 1 got 1st
choice, (Judy Bice). Everyone
thereafter could exchange the gift
they opened for any of those preceeding. A gift could only be
exchanged 3 times. Saying something about our club, the gifts
exchanged the most seemed to be
homemade Kalhua, Boston
Creme, etc! There were so many
gifts I won’t mention them all,
but in the end Judy got her
choice of any gift and chose the
knife (with a lot of extras) set
that had passed through 2 other
hands. Sadly my Santa snowblower got stolen and I got the
Victoria Secret prefume which I
intend on wearing. Tammy and
her mom, Bev, did all of the purchasing of the door prizes and all
of the wrapping. Good job ladies.
On December 17th we held are
Christmas Dinner at the Moose –

Introducing the all-new Polaris RUSH™ – the first snowmobile with a truly progressiverate rear suspension* that lets riders dominate the whoops like a motocrosser and
conquer the corners with rider-active control. The RUSH’s virtually bottomless
PRO-RIDE™ suspension is designed to absorb the toughest bumps, transferring the load
to the super-rigid PRO-RIDE chassis helping to isolate the rider from “spine-tinglers”.
Ride harder, faster, longer, and ride again tomorrow. Feel the RUSH.

Rogue Snowmobilers of Southern Oregon
by Kim Greenwaldt
I would like to start my letter
this month by saying Thank You
to everyone who voted for me as
Snowmobiler of the Year. I feel
like it is a real honor and you
affirmed that all the work that we
have been putting in during the
last year was truly going in the
right direction. So once again
Thank You!
For those of you that missed
the Winter Banquet, we had a
great banquet as usual. Thank you
to the folks at Diamond Lake.
They once again came through for
us, they even provided snow! I
had three great days of riding with
a bunch of good friends. As for
the awards. Mike Rose was the
lucky recipient of the Golden Helmet, Mike please stay on the trail
and stay away from the ice/lake.
Leslie Bowman won the Outhouse award, the next time you
see Leslie give her a thumbs up,
she will know what you mean.
The Groomer of the Year went to
the VERY deserving Brian Watson. Thank you Brian for all of
your hard work all of the time.
A reminder about the OSSA
convention in John Day, please
register for that now.
Before we go to the convention
we have a Turkey fry (I will NOT
be cooking) and ride on January
16th at Hamacker. Scott Downing
will be doing the cooking (and the
rest
of
the
club
gives
thanks)Remember that we have
invited CC Riders (Roseburg
club) to join us this year, they will
be coming via snowmobile so we
may need a little extra potluck
food. This will be a wonderful
opportunity for the two clubs to
be able to interact.
Mark your Calendars for the
Bailey $3000 in February and
make reservations as needed.
In closing I have 8 days on the
snow this year so far, if you
haven’t taken advantage of the
great snow in the Diamond Lake
and 1000 Springs areas, remember the worst day of snowmobiling is better then almost any other
day.
Please remember to write to
your Representatives in opposition to taking public lands and
locking them up to wilderness.
As you will receive this after
Christmas I hope each and everyone of you had a joyous and wonderful Christmas. (Thanks for
your special giving to our Christmas families) I would also like to
wish all A Happy New Year!
See you on the SNOW!!
- Dennis Jordan

Snowmobilers
Involved In The Community
Here we are at the beginning of
our season with barely enough
snow to go riding, and the club
has already been involved in two
great community events.
In the November general meeting the club voted to adopt two
Christmas families to shop for
who could use our help to have a
Merry Christmas. The families
were selected by Lisa Duncan
who through her work connection
was able to qualify families that
truly needed our help. With the
funds that the club allocated,
Sheyla Hildebrand and Elysia
Gabaldon spent many hours shopping (they enjoyed it) and wrapping presents for each of the families. One of the families included
two children who were sleeping
on the couch because they did not
have beds to sleep on. When the
club heard about this, several people jumped in to help find beds
that could be donated to the family. Gene Bowling was able to get
a set of twin beds donated and
Sheyla Hildebrand donated two
bedding sets so the family would
not need to shop for bedding.
Your club also decided to step in
and purchase two bed frames to
complete the set. Thank You to
all the club members as the dues
you pay each year just helped two
families have a Merry Christmas.
At the same time we were
working on the Christmas family
project, the club also was helping
D & S Harley get toys for the
Toys for Tot program. A special
thank you goes out to Water
World Boating Center, Central
Equipment and Medford Power
Sports for stepping up and having
collection sites at their locations.
The club also donated $200 to
shop for toys which Jan Guthmiller spent time doing. Thank
you to Jan, our local dealers and
all the club members who helped
out to make this happen.
I want to say it one more time,
THANK YOU to all the club
members as your dues just made
a difference in our local community.

Tollgate Trail Finders
by Greg Webber
The month of December
proved to be a great start to the
snowmobile season in the Tollgate area. All members of the
Tollgate Trail Finders should be
very proud of their club as I have
never seen better events or a better group of volunteers!
The month started out with free
hot dogs at Bone Springs warming shelter, the riding must have
been good, because I viewed a
few snowmobilers working on
their fourth hot dog.
The next weekend a group of
riders went on a ride led by Glenn
Warren that took them over the
Milk Shakes and down towards
Blue Wood, Thanks Glenn for
your time, it was much appreciated.
Dec 19th was the Christmas
party at the Trailfinders clubhouse, great food and a fun time
had by all playing the card game
31.
Dec 26th was a family ride led
by Gary Woods, what a great
time! The sun was shining and the
snow glimmered like diamonds.
Thanks Gary for the tour of Balloon Tree.
Dec 27th The Radar Run at
Target Meadows was a huge success. Jay and Amy Hamman put
on a first class event. I’m sure at
one time there were well over 100
snowmobilers
watching
the
action. The sun was shining and
the snow was almost perfect.
The New Year started out as
good or better then it ended. January 2nd was the the Annual Silver Run with a $1,000.00 in prize
money and a chance to win a 32’’
Flat Panel TV, again the day was
perfect, probably one of the best
poker runs I’ve been on. Followed by great fun, great
food and great fellowship with
club members. Jeff Smith was the
lucky club member that walked
away with the TV!
If you haven’t figured it out
yet, Tollgate is the place to ride
and the Tollgate Trail Finders is
the club to be involved in!
If your interested in visiting our
area, go to [email protected] click on weather and
scroll down to the Tollgate Trailfinders list of upcomming events
and see what’s happening on the
mountain.
The snow is perfect (most of
the time), the members are a fine
bunch of folks, and the trails are
well maintained by our groomers.
Hope to see ya on the Trails,
Greg Webber
TTF President

annual Christmas Tree Ride and
Chili Feed. This is the first time
for me that we have had snow for
this event. After dodging a few
four wheel drives, we headed up
to high country to find the perfect
trees and perfect snow. I thought
we might have to call in a helicopter logger to pull Rene’s tree
out but he got it down the mountain on his own!
Afterwards we all hung out and
visited while enjoying Lynette’s
famous chili. Thanks to Lynette
and family for providing us with
this awesome meal!
Next up was the Christmas
Banquet weekend. There was
plenty of snow for riding all
weekend. I saw plenty of stuck
sleds with happy, grinning riders!
And just because I don’t have a
picture doesn’t mean you got
away with it (Jeff Hoxsey)!!
As always, Lori Jordan and
Diamond Lake did an awesome
job with the banquet and the food
was absolutely delicious. Thank
you Lori!! This was followed up
by plenty of prizes and awards.
This year’s award winners were:
Golden Helmet: Mike Rose,
Outhouse Award: Leslie Bowman, Groomer of the Year: Brian
Watson and Snowmobiler of the
Year: Dennis Jordan.
Be sure to ask Mike and Leslie
what they did to win those
awards! And keep your eyes
open for future winners this season.
Be sure to thank our local dealers for their generous donation of
prizes as well as Pacific Diamond
Jewelers, Cascade Glass Carving
and Bob Guthmiller Repair.
The banquet was followed by
more riding on Sunday as our
Snowmobiler of the Year abandoned half his group (the women,
children and old men) to fend for
themselves, lost and alone in the
wilderness…..way to go Mr. President!!!!!
There are lots of fun events
coming up in January so be sure
to check the schedule to join in
the fun including a Rose Bowl
Party on the 1st!
Hope to see you at an event
soon and ride safe and have fun!
