Hope this isn't posted already:

Second Session:

Evening Sessions: January 24 and 25, 2007, 7:00pm to 9:30pm, at MSU in the Strand Union Building.

Field Session: January 27, 2007, 9:15am to 3:00pm, at Bridger Bowl Ski Area.



Basic Avalanche Awareness Workshops during the 2006-2007 winter season. Instructors are Ron Johnson and Karl Birkeland.

The workshops are held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with a field session on Saturday. Topics covered include: avalanche terrain recognition, the affect weather has on avalanche hazard, the development of the mountain snowpack, decision making skills, and basic search and rescue procedures. Participants in the field session should have basic skiing and snowboarding skills, and the appropriate equipment to negotiate “groomed” intermediate ski runs. Though not required, an avalanche rescue beacon will be very helpful for the field session.

Cost is $5.00 for each evening session and $15.00 for the field session. Cost for the entire workshop is $25.00. Registration is not required for the evening sessions. Registration is required for the field session, which can be done at either of the evening sessions. Contact The ASMSU Outdoor Recreation Program at 994-3621 for more information.
