Do you need the avalanche training class before you take this?

Mike,

Going to try to make it. I'm on call that weekend but I'm going to try to switch things around for 1/2 day to make it work. I'll send you and email when I know for sure.

Glad to hear you were able to get this put together.

Donald

We will be there. How soon in advance do you need to register? Do you pay when you register or when you go to the training?

Class update:
Sorry, I had to cancel the class. Did not get enough of a response (everyone is out west riding!) and did not have enough time to promote it effectively. I will try again next year and set a date three months in advance. Mike
