    Christie Mtn. OEC candidate class final exam, at Christie Mtn. Paul van Natta
1 Mon Patrol Registrations Due  
6 Sat Spirit Mtn./Mont du Lac OEC Candidate Evaluation - St. Luke's Hospital Bill Pagel
6-7 Sat-Sun 2008 Central Division Alpine Clinic at Trollhaugen put on by Central Division Trainers. (NSP Course #16031) This is a WIN, WIN, WIN situation. We have a chance to work with Division ski and toboggan trainers on sharpening our skills and get in sync with the rest of the Division. The trainers get a chance to move around the Division and meet us where we ski. We all get a chance to learn and teach with each other. Remember there is always room to improve our ski and toboggan training and bring that back to our own hills to share. We are asking that each area sends their Patrol Representative and a trainer to this event. Senior Ski and Toboggan Testers should also attend as well as any other interested patrollers. The 1st 50 registrants get the $25 NSP course fee paid for by the Western Region. Sorry... This workshop is full. Two other Division Alpine Clinics are being offered in other Regions. See: Central Division Skills Development Please contact John Thomas with questions.
