Looking for avi class in the Twin Cities MN/ west central WI area

Mike Duffy does a great job. I believe he is planning several classes in MN this year. He goes by snowww1 on here, send him a PM, or you can email him at duffyww1@aol.com.
 
Avy Classes

There's usually a class held during the MPLS Snow Show. I think Mike does that class too. Good Luck! Great Idea.
