Deschutes County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue volunteers responded to an emergency call Sunday after a 29-year-old snowboarder was injured while riding Mt. Bachelor’s Cinder Cone. The man, new to Central Oregon, struck a rock and reportedly suffered significant hip and rib pain. Due to the steep and challenging terrain, Mt. Bachelor Ski Patrol enlisted SAR’s help. Fifteen volunteers climbed to stabilize the patient, then safely brought him to a snowcat access road. Mt. Bachelor staff used a snowcat for the final transport leg to West Village parking. Bend Fire & Rescue then transferred him to St. Charles Medical Center for further care.  The resort is still closed for the season and expects to open in late November.
