Show Safety Clinic Announced by Bob Kassow,DirectorStein Eriksen Ski Touring School Three ski-tourers were very lucky this past weekend, after being caught in a sizeable .avalanche in Emigration Canyon. One was buried completely for five minutes. Due to the correct and prompt actions of his companions . .who probed for him with skis and ski poles - he was recovered relatively unharmed. They were all very lucky. Would you know what to do if your best friend was buried .somewhere in hundreds of tons of avalanche debris? Or how to avoid being caught in a slide at all. It's a fact that most alpine skiers and ski-tourers must answer no to these questions and worse, that most of them won't ask themselves ..these questions until the emergency situation arises. Dates have been set for the Avalanche - Ski Touring Safety Clinic, Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 ..p.m. and Saturday, March 13 to Sunday, March 14, 1976. Individuals will be required to obtain their own course text. Wilderness skiing by Flores and Steck, published by Sierra Club Press, cost $6.00. The cost of the course is $15.00 for the lecture, and two-day overnight. For further information ::and registration, call .Bob Kassow, 654-3300. |
