Meet Dave Thomas aka DT, Mt Bachelor’s director of ski patrol Director. DT leads the patrol team keeping the mountain safe for guests, including avalanche mitigation operations. Never seen footage quite like this with a dedicated drone doing flybys while patrollers are tossing bombs, really sweet effect.
