Although, for the moment, Mother Nature is not cooperating with abundant snows, or with the fine men and women that work so hard to cover our slopes with snow, I know that the members of the NH Region will be prepared when called upon, as our membership has for more than 75 years. The refreshers are complete, we have practiced evacuating our lifts, and our skis are sharpened, waxed, and ready to go. Welcome to a brand new season.
Snow or not, the NH Region has been busily preparing for the season seemingly since the last chair raised the last patroller for the last run of the 2014/2015 season. These efforts have resulted in more than 20 new OEC certified patrollers, new instructors, and a calendar full of clinics to help you build or refine your skills.
As you can read about elsewhere on the sight, we had an outstanding turnout for the Mountain Travel and Rescue event in November; we held an ‘Introduction to the Senior Program’ night to provide information and answer questions; and, registration is currently open for clinics to be held throughout the season.
So, although you might not have taken your first runs of the season as yet…don’t worry, you will soon. In the meantime, why not take a look at the clinics scheduled and commit yourself to improving your skills this season??
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the new season.
Paul Kelly
NH Region Director
