[pct-l] Postholer PCT-L -Forum

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

FWIW, Ned is trying to build on the Mountain Education website a "school 
library" where all the posts previously on Postholer can be found. Since we 
rely on volunteer labor to accomplish this, the building of the school site 
will take some more time.

At the moment, we are finishing our own medical and SAR trainings for the 
year and are still waiting for the real snow to start falling (maybe by 
mid-month) before Mountain Ed. can begin its snow skills training courses, 
now scheduled to start in February.
