[NMCCSC] Avalanche Rescue Review

[doug erb]

Greetings skiers! 
I will be offering a beacon /transceiver avalanche rescue review in two weeks on Sunday 1/2/2022. What better way to ring in the New Year than digging your friends out of the snow? 
The session will take about 3 hours from 9am-noon. Location to be determined, probably somewhere in the Sandias. 

This event is for skiers that travel in the back country and want to practice their use of avalanche transceivers, probes and shovels. You should have your own beacon, probe and shovel and know how to use them.

Knowing how to operate your beacon and use your rescue gear is essential for yourself and those you are skiing with when traveling in the backcountry. 

We will review the following:

1.    Equipment-transceivers, probes, shovels

2.    Trailhead checks

3.    Practice with transceivers, probes and shovels for a single burial scenario
To be clear, I am not an avalanche course instructor and this is not an avalanche class. I have taken AIARE Level 1 and the Avalanche Rescue course. I highly recommend anyone interested in backcountry skiing to invest in an avalanche and rescue course. Practice with your safety equipment is part of being a great ski partner. 
Please email me directly if you are interested in the class.

Feel free to call me with any questions 505-717-5636.

Doug Erb
