This is NOT a true course, this is more of a forum.

Excellent idea Lori

So you will be reviewing the types of terrain, weather conditions, time of day and slope aspect to help sledders determine which areas were better and which were bad to ride in last year?

Will the Avalanche Forcaster be able to review/cover how the CAC Website is written up explaining the actual conditions that other snow reporters send back to him?


We will be there - think it is a new way to hear information from the Canadian Avalanche Center - by a forcaster.

Anyone going to Edmonton for this from Red Deer and wanna split the fuel/bs? Otherwise ill prob be heading solo with my snowandmud attire.:d

 

[CUSO]

I will be there, with at least 6 others.

Hopefully I can test out my Snowpulse bag that evening..

Lori, ya think there is time for that? :d

Looking forward to being there. I will show many people just how important the preparedness of avalanche safety is, through education.

Not sure this is the training you would want Kenvb.... I would suggest taking the AST Level 1 in Morinville on December 6.
