Cascade Mountain Ski Patrol

Hi everybody,
I hope all is well, and that you're all having a great summer.   Now however, it's time to start thinking about the upcoming ski season.  Please mark your calendars with the following dates.

• Instructor Refresher - Sunday September 28th
• Patrol Refresher - Saturday October 18th
• CPR re-cert & patrol room clean-up - Sunday October 19th
• Chair Evac refresher- various dates during December (sign-up @ refresher)

Please Note: There will be no special refreshers, if you can't make Cascade's refresher on the 18th, you will need to attend another refresher in our region.  Also, to attend the Instructor refresher you must be planning on helping at the Patrol refresher on the 18th.
After you have received the detail information from Doug, and you have questions, please contact Doug or myself.

See you soon.
Joe

Hi everyone, I hope your summer is going well, it's hard to believe that it's almost Labor day.I just wanted to send out a reminder that this years refresher will be on October 6th & 7th, and to plan on two full days.  We will be training on some new pieces of equipment this year, along with the Cycle C contents. We will also be offering CPR after the Chair evac on Sunday for those of you that haven't re-certified elsewhere.Complete refresher information will be coming shortly, so for now enjoy the rest of your summer.

Hi everybody,I've had several inquires regarding CPR classes. We are planning to hold CPR re-certs on Sunday October 7th after the chair evac for anyone who wants it.  Please remember that NSP requires us to re-cert CPR skills each year.More will be coming out in a couple of weeks with your refresher information.  Thanks and enjoy the rest of your summer.Joe Riley

Hi Everyone,This is a reminder that as patrollers we are required to renew our CPR card every year before the ski season starts. You will not be able to patrol until you have been through a CPR refreher. There is a new method of performing CPR and it is vital that you get refreshed to learn the new skills. If you are looking for a CPR class please contact Joe Riley at  jjriley76@earthlink.net-SteveHi everyone,I just wanted to send out a second notice regarding the CPR refresher that we are offering this year.There is still room available in all classes, Sept. 18th, Oct. 10th, & Oct.16th.Please remember, that NSP requires us to refresh our CPR skills every year, so don't miss out on the opportunity to get this completed before the it snows.  To reserve a spot, please send me an e-mail ASAP.For those of you that have signed up, please don't forget to bring your pocket mask.-JoeRelated Information:  Go to AHA Website to review changes to CPR guidelines:Looking for an overview of the changes to the AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC?   Visit the special Guidelines issue of the online Currents newsletter to view the summary of changes. Link to AHA website and PDF
