Entered as • But course is only an intro to safely in the woods By PATRICK PARKINSON Of the Record staff A free lecture in Park City Tuesday will focus on staying safe from avalanches. "Most people who get involved in the course know that there is a definite risk involved with being outside of the ski resort," said Parkite Scott House, a White Pine Touring backcountry ski guide. Free lectures Nov. 25 and Dec. 23 at the Santy Auditorium will focus on basic avalanche awareness, he said. "Most who attend understand that traveling in the backcountry is dangerous and they want to start to learn how to become safer," said House, who organized the lectures. "The goal is, basically, to get people to think and start using a decision-making process to travel safely in the backcountry. This awareness lecture is just the tip of the iceberg. .It's just to get you to start thinking about the consequences." The three-hour events begin at 6 p.m. at the Park City Library and Education Center at 1255 Park Ave. "We've always done avalanche-awareness lectures at White Pine in the past, and it was a $10 charge to come to the event. With free admission we want as many people to come as possible," House said, adding that attendance at the lectures has declined. "We decided it wasn't • Continued from A-1 Senate votes to reject judges confirmation sentencing of Paul Wayment to jail after pleading no contest to the negligent death of his toddler son during a hunting expedition. The case drew national attention after Wayment committed suicide before reporting to jail. Hilder also was asked about his handling of a child custody case in Summit County that ended with the death of Natalie Turner near Park City Aug. 8, 2003. David Turner, the woman's father, blames the death of his daughter on decisions Hilder made in the divorce case. Natalie Turner was shot to death by police after allegedly shooting her ex-husband at his Wasatch County home and fleeing with the injured man and her boyfriend on State Road 248. Christensen sided against Hilder's confirmation to the Appeals court. "He did show a bit of temper at being pushed on some of these issues," Christensen said about the judge's questioning by the Senate. "When it finally came down to it, I just said if we have this much concern, it's not a matter of he's the only one we get to choose." But many lawyers consider Hilder one of the best judges in the state. "I was disappointed that Judge Hilder did not find a favorable vote to the Court of Appeals. I think he is one of the best judges in the state." said Democrat Sen. Ross Romero, a lawyer who previously served the Snyderville Basin in the state House of Representatives. "We were getting letters frommany members of the Utah State Bar. They all said, in a vast majority of the responses, that [Hilder] was one of the top worth us taking $10 out of somebody's pocket ... We need more people to come to this because there are a ton of people skiing in the backcountry and a lot of people aren't educated." He hopes attendees will donate $10 to the Utah Avalanche Center, a nonprofit that promotes avalanche safety. "They have really struggled to get the money they need to keep the avalanche center running," House said. "We need to get funding for the avalanche forecast center because that's what keeps us all safe.1' The center is operated by the U.S. Forest Service and forecasts avalanche danger in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains. "It's an important part of the community in Utah because so many people recreate in the backcountry in the wintertime," House said. Meanwhile, he insists Tuesday's lecture is no substitute for completing an entrylevel avalanche safety course. "It's just an introduction to let people know the risks that are out there. If they're going to go anyways, at least let's give them the little bit they might need just to keep them out of trouble," House said. The lecture explores how avalanches form and the role of weather in that process, he said. "If you have already taken a course, this will refresh your memory and get you thinking about snow," House said. "This is a great opportunity for people to come for free and get an idea about whether this is something that they even want to be doing." judges in the state." Meanwhile, Van Tassell explained why he voted with mostly Democrats to confirm Hilder. "Probably the most controversial of everything was his decision that involved guns on the University of Utah," Van Tassell said. "That wasn't really a Second Amendment issue as much as it was determining who had the authority in the state of Utah to regulate guns. The university was making some claims to their right to rule and of course the Legislature felt like that was there's." Before this week's vote, Van Tassell said he met with Hilder privately in Salt Lake City at the Little America hotel for nearly 90 minutes. "This is a judge who has been there for 13 years and has made a lot of decisions," Van Tassell said. "I don't know many perfect people in this world and I felt like he had been a good judge." Van Tassell acknowledged, "There were some pretty big emotions from Park City because of a couple cases that had happened in that area." "I feel comfortable in the way I voted and I don't have any regrets," Van Tassell said. "But in two years, when 1 run for reelection, I'll probably have some regrets." Van Tassell said he didn't see Hilder's temper flare. "He's very intelligent," the senator said. Senators who voted against Hilder hadn't experienced the judge's courtroom demeanor, Romero lamented. "[Lawyers] know Judge Hilder and we see him every day. Those senators who voted not to confirm him don't have the same opportunity for interaction," Romero said. "Their views are formed from those that are willing to engage their elected representatives who have Had an unpleasant experience in front of the court and in front of perhaps Judge Hilder."
