HAYWARD, WI - Three Western Region Senior Nordic candidates
successfully assembled and demonstrated Nordic toboggans at the Birkebeiner
Ski Patrol HQ on 2/21/03. Senior Nordic requires the patroller to build a
makeshift rescue toboggan with materials carried in their backpack, with
optional use of a patient's skis and poles. Proof of construction
requires successfully transporting a "patient" through a prescribed
course. Walt Krapohl, Dave Squires, and Peter Wollan each completed
the event. For Walt and Peter, the toboggan was their final requirement
for Senior Nordic qualification!
