 SUMMARY OF NICKOLAY DODOV FOUNDATION FREE AVALANCHE EDUCATIONAL TOUR FOR WINTER SEASON 2019/2020

by Natalia and Alex Dodov


"The NDF Avalanche Safety Educational Tour was cut short due to CORONA Virus while the Foundation was having the busiest season traveling with FREE Avalanche Education to youth, presenting EIGHTEEN Free Avalanche Educational events to more than 2500 ski and snowboard athletes, middle, high school and university students, coaches, teachers, parents and all age mountain enthusiasts.

When the Pandemic started NDF had to cancel 5 KBYG presentation, 2 NDF avalanche workshops, 2 Level 1 courses, 2 international workshops and the 7th Annual Nickolay Dodov slopestyle event.


As Founders of NDF we volunteer our time to help the Foundation. We scheduled, traveled from Santa Cruz to Mammoth and China Lake from Tahoe to Quincy, Taylorsville and Mt Shasta from Bear Valley to Sacramento bringing the necessary equipment to organize and be in support of every event.


Thank you to our dedicated donors! We were able to provide all the free classes with an exceedingly small budget without a major grants or sponsors.

We are very thankful to our eleven avalanche educators (7 in the US and 4 International) for their passion and professionalism.


Besides being busy with the Foundation we had 100+ ski days in the backcountry. During the Pandemic we were out every day to brake trails and oversee the safety in our backyard.


Have a very nice Summer! Climb a rock, bike a trail, surf a wave, ride some white waters… Admire the wild flowers...Keep your screws loose! We already got busy with our Summer jobs…Looking forward to see you in the Fall!"

The stress bulb of the snowmobile reaches deeper into the snowpack. Additionally, snowmobilers can cover much more ground on a given day on our snowmobiles effectively applying that stress to more areas. With the increased power and capabilities of a snowmobiles and snow bikes the motorized travelers are able to climb higher and further than human powered backcountry travelers. This puts motorized travelers at a greater risk of entering avalanche terrain unaware of their surroundings and the potential dangers in the backcountry. Avalanche education is essential for motorized backcountry travel!  DON’T MISS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT MOTORIZED AVALANCHE SAFETY!
