Presentations by John Stimberis, WSDOT Avalanche Forecaster and Alpental Ski Patroller
This is a useful introductory workshop for newbies to winter sports and a good refresher for seasoned recreationists. Learn the basics of ski area and off-trail safety; backcountry gear essentials; avalanche control and rescue techniques and the skier’s responsibility code. As John says, he hopes he never meets you during his work.
