This training includes two evening classroom sessions held in Edmonton (Jan. 28/29) & one field day in Valemount (Jan. 31 or Feb. 1). Cost: $175.00.

We need a minimum of 20 people to make it a go. If possible, please post this information on your message board. The attached document has all of the details.

Thank you.

Note:
For January 28 & 29, 2004
Avalanche Awareness Course (RAC).

“It is the policy of Tri-County Snowmobile Club that any member participating in the Club Mountain Ride, March 26, 2004, must have taken a Recreational Avalanche Course (RAC). If you have not taken a course this may be your best opportunity.   The classroom courses are held in Edmonton, (this will save you a night’s hotel bill if you were to take a full two day RAC course in the mountains).  You still are required to spend one day of field training at Valemount.”
