Snow is great and many would argue that it's the best medium to travel the mountains on. It also comes with a new set of risks to consider and techniques to employ. In this class we'll dive into the winter wonderland blanket - snow. Yes, we will literally dive in!
Bring all your gear to class. We're going to play with all of it in the classroom.
During the subsequent field trip we won't be doing any rope work. So, there's no need for harnesses. Although, that's not always the case with snow. In the future that is a decision your scramble leader will make for a particular scramble.
Kitsap Branch Program Center (AKA Olympic Mountain Rescue) in Bremerton from 630 pm to 9 pm.
