There’s a new Ski Patrol member in the making. PisteOff’s prodigy started his classes tonight So proud of him for answering the call to keep our slopes safe. Yay Kevin!
I'll talk to him. His step dad just died unexpectedly and tragically. I was happy to see that he pulled himself away from all that is going on to carry through with this. Bodes well..... He will have his driver's license within the next week or two as well. The young man is growing up. I think he will make a great patroller. He has patrol training twice a week until October when he tests for Patroller. Then he will have to work the hill through the season and do the on hill transport/alpine training etc. We are all excited for him and looking forward to watching his development through the program.@PisteOff maybe you can get him to do a thread documenting the program. I think there may be some folks with an interest here.
wow you guys get an early start, I don't think we start the OEC till Aug, but we also won't be testing till early Nov.
It may actually be in July when we start. It's one day a week also.We do one day a week starting June 21 this year. It is actually late for us.
He’s a great kid
He’s doing really good. They’re off this week. Now that the season draws near he might start poking his head into PugSki for some stoke.So how is his OEC going? We're all waiting with bated breath to hear.
Looking forward to hearing from him....Tell him that for extra OEC credit he has to write a 2000 word essay on OEC class and post it here on Pugski.He’s doing really good. They’re off this week. Now that the season draws near he might start poking his head into PugSki for some stoke.
Well, here we are.....Today @ChunderBlunder graduated the OEC with the National Ski Patrol. He's got 4 consecutive days patrolling this season already. His alpine training commences tomorrow. His peers think and speak very highly of the young man. I watched him on his first call last night when a young boy broke his collar bone. I am very proud of him. Congratulations Kevin!!
