For people commonly on the ski area, physically able, and that are willing to devote some "volunteer" time.

Top Tow Emergency Response Training Day. An introduction and refresher for folks that frequent the Top Tow skiing, and want to be able to competently assist Patrol should a medical emergency arise.

TOPICS: Overview of safety equipment locations; accident site management protocols(medical); toboggan storage, transfer, tailroping, and lowering.

LOCATION: Top Tow 1100hrs to 1400hrs. Interested parties contact Brad Carpenter, 0272800860 or bradcarp@aol.com, or show up the 25th.

Will be re-scheduled if we are not open, or its really bad weather.

Focus is on the medical evacuation side of things.

Avalanche search and rescue training will occur at a later date as soon as we get some transceivers and hopefully a little more snow.

Anyone interested please let me know by email bradcarp@aol.com or phone 0272800860.
