WINTRY WEATHER MEANS BIG CROWDS AGAIN THIS WEEKEND
We hope that you had the opportunity to come out and enjoy the great ski conditions over the past two weekends. With the return of cold weather, we expect great conditions again this weekend, leading to large crowds. Be on time for your shifts and if you’re not scheduled, consider coming out anyway to enjoy the skiing and sliding and help with crowd control.
TRAINING IS PEAKING
Training started late this season, just after Xmas. Trainees should take every opportunity to work with our trainer cadre, both on scheduled training days and at other times they are out. However, they should be careful about working with patrollers who are not on the training staff and may not be up to date on what will be expected on the evaluation this coming Sunday.
On-hill Refreshers should have been completed by January 15. If you have not been signed off, please contact L.J. to discuss your problem.
The Senior Pre-test for the Alpine Proficiency Evaluation was Sun., Jan. 22, at Pine Knob. The Senior SEM scenario sign-off deadline is Wed., Feb. 1. The Senior SEM Ecaluation will be held at Mt. Brighton on March 10, followed by the Senior Aid Room Seminar. The seminar is a senior elective and is also a requirement for those who wish to be registered as Senior Patrollers without completing the Alpine or Nordic proficiency components.
LATEST SCHEDULE AND ROSTER AVAILABLE
Apparently a few people missed the Dec. 3 deadline for making schedule changes as Blake has sent sever updates since. The latest schedule and roster are available in the members’ area. If you need the password, contact LJ.
