Comments

It all started Thursday night with the generous support of Tri City Performance. We covered lots of topics from terrain, snow metamorphism, rescue, human factors, and what to carry on your sled.

A big round of applause goes out to our very own Craig Gordon for putting together what might have been the largest sled class in North America with 50 riders in attendance.

Another HUGE thanks to Park City Powder Cats for letting us host this class out of their cabin. A very special thanks to our liaison and guide Jason from the PCPC for showing us around and leading the group. Despite having a broken arm he still rocked out on lead shovel.... Thanks

Good thing we had the Boondockers crew along with Randi and his crew from Alpine Assassins there to help. They made quick work of getting people un-stuck or quickly fixing broken sleds. Super BIG thanks to all of them for taking the time to help with this amazing class, we couldn't do it without you!!!

We all learned lots in the field as the riders rotated through four stations. (Shelter) with Randi Sugihara, (Riding Skills) with Boondockers crew, (Snow-pit and layering) with visiting (from Moab) UAC Forecaster Eric Trenbeath, (Rescue) with Seth Rowler & Tyler from S&R along with Cody Hughes.
