WHAT TO WEAR

           Windham requires participants to wear civilian clothes – NO PATROL PARKA'S please.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CERTIFIED PROGRAM

      Patrollers interested in the Certified Program will participate in many presentations. The first discussion held will be on the application process where the credentials committee reviews an applicant’s patrol history and application to see if they qualify for the program.  Then each of the modules in the certified exam are discussed and demonstrated on the snow as required.  These include skiing, toboggan handling, first aid, avalanche rescue, lift evacuation, low-angle rope rescue, and hill safety and managment interviews.  This is the perfect time for any potential candidate to become acquainted with the program’s requirements. Program fee $50.

SATURDAY PARTY

           Saturday evening will begin with a pizza and beer party allowing participants and instructors to mingle and reflect on the day’s events.  You are on your own for the rest of the evening.
