Just to let everyone know that we may have to open up a fourth weekend Snow Course
March 27, 28, 29. There has been lots of interest.

For those  who could not make the last two new dates (3/13,14,15 & 3/20,21,22), check your calendars 
to see if you can make this new weekend offering.

Remember, the Course is free (a donation at the end if you felt the instruction was good) and 
accomplishes two things,

    -teaches you on-snow, hands-on skills for snow-related interests like winter hazards, avalanche 
        assessment and avoidance, self-arrest training and practice, on-snow navigation and route 
        selection (Visual Route Referencing), creek and lake crossings, and dealing with ice, the 
        wet-and-cold, snow camping, getting water, and more.

    -gives you an opportunity to test yourself, food and gear selections, knowledge, and skills in some
        of the worst conditions you'll experience on the PCT, all with the oversight of the Course Instructor.
