[pct-l] Snow Courses

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Hi, Brian!

My wife and I operate an outdoor school called "Mountain Education" which 
offers free, 3-day weekend "Snow Course" trips into Desolation Wilderness 
along the PCT, here in South Lake Tahoe, Ca.. We used to have a website 
offering information and photos about all this, but it is no longer in 
existence; we hope to re-design it someday.

In the meantime, our former students, many of whom are on this Forum, would 
be happy, I'm sure, to tell you all about their experiences on our trips. 
All you have to do is ask the Forum and I'm sure you'll get an enthusiastic 
reply.

Over on Postholer.com, we are contributing to an informational forum on 
snow-related topics. Go take a look at
http://postholer.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25 .

If you wish to attend one of the two Courses offered per month starting in 
December and running thru May, all we need for now is the month you'd like 
and the number of students attending sent to us via email. When we know the 
exact dates of the trips, we'll let you know. If you'd like a Course 
Description, just let us know.

Mtnned and Lady J
