SAN FRANCISCO - As part of their ongoing snow sports education effort, Ski California (aka the California Ski Industry Association) and its member resorts today unveiled the first-ever Mountain Safety Guide for the 2017-2018 season. The free Guide will be available at resorts in a pocket-size format (like a trail map) and/or an online/mobile version to all guests with education about making good decisions to have a safe experience. The safety guide will be complemented by a series of public service announcement videos featuring Olympic gold medalist Maddie Bowman and professional snowboarder and founder of Protect Our Winters (POW) Jeremy Jones.

"All resorts make safety an essential priority, and they are committed to addressing safety every day in their operations. I think the Mountain Safety Guide sends a powerful message because this is the first time our resorts have come together with one all-encompassing educational platform," said Michael Reitzell, Ski California president. "This guide is designed to help the millions of guests be our resorts' partners in safety."

FRESNO - Fresno State sophomore Jeffrey Allison was named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week on Nov. 6 following his standout performance on Nov. 4 vs. BYU. It is Allison’s second honor in a three week span after earning his first career honor on Oct. 23 following the Bulldogs’ Oct. 21 contest at San Diego State.

How he won it: 

• Made a diving leap to recover a fumble in the air that was jarred loose by Mike Bell late in fourth quarter (3:14) which ultimately sealed the win for Fresno State as BYU’s offense never saw the ball again.

FRESNO - Gaining bowl eligibility for the first time since 2014, the Fresno State Bulldogs picked up its sixth win of the season, defeating BYU 20-13, on Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium. "It is nice," Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford said of being bowl eligible. "That was one of our goals we set going into the year, getting into a bowl game. We still have a lot of work to do, but it is nice to get that sixth win. The players deserve it, they work really hard. The staff has done a phenomenal job. It is always gratifying to see hard work pay off, especially in a game like tonight where it could have gone either way. We found a way to get that sixth win and I am very proud of our players and our staff."

Fresno State (6-3), who improved to 4-1 at home this season, totaled 310 yards of offense as junior quarterback Marcus McMaryion went 14-of-20 through the air for 174 yards while spreading it out to five different Bulldog pass catchers. Leading the way was senior Da'Mari Scott with 61 yards on four receptions while junior KeeSean Johnson added 47 yards on a team-high five receptions.
