The Refresher Planning Meeting is an essential part of a successful and enjoyable refresher for everyone and your input that really makes the difference. It is critical that our refresher structure and content meets the standards and objectives defined by National Ski Patrol. I would encourage you to read the OEC Refresher Guide that you should have received in the mail. If you did not get one, contact me and I will get you a copy.

Instructor Refresher.
Our objective is to provide a quality refresher for all instructors and have an opportunity to fine tune for the big day!  Sunday September 28 starting at 9:00 am until completion at the hill. Be prepared as you would be for the hill refresher. You must have all materials, props, handouts, etc. ready for the instructor refresher so that all your instructor colleagues are properly refreshed. Additionally, this is a chance to identify issues with your station.
