AFTON - The Afton Alps Ski
Patrol conducted their hill refresher over 3 weekends in December 2002.
Per National requirements, each patroller is required to refresh skills
pertinent to their home area annually. Afton patrollers refreshed
in each of three skill areas. First, each patroller was evacuated
from a simulated stalled chair lift. Each evacuee then evacuated the
next 2 patrollers from the primary and secondary belayer positions.
Secondly, patrollers took a toboggan run in each of three positions:
patient, lead, and tail-rope rescuer. Lastly, every patroller
reviewed our snowmobile features and took a familiarization drive which,
for many, returned toboggans to the top of the hill. |
