On Saturday, February 18, 2017, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue unit was dispatched to the area of the Twin Lakes Trailhead for a stranded cross country skier. Robert Roloson, age 38 of Tigard, Oregon had been cross country skiing when he suffered an equipment malfunction. Roloson was prepared and well equipped for an emergency and the snowy weather and had spent the night on the trail. The Douglas County Snow Cat team was sent in to locate and extract Roloson back to his vehicle. He was found to be in good condition. Planning ahead and being prepared for circumstances such as this, contributed to Roloson’s survival for an unexpected night outdoors.
