Avalanche Safety Course for Freeride Team Members

This is what Melissa Cronin had to say about avalanche safety course (held on 2/10/08) for members of the Big Mountain Freeride Team:

I spent the day shadowing the [Big Mountain Freeride Team] as they took their avalanche safety course with Chris Shelly, Ski Patrol Director at Moonlight Basin. Chris did an excellent course geared toward younger participants. Chris shared the fundamentals of avalanche terrain, rescue and forecasting with the five...participants. He also showed the group where to go on Moonlight Basin to practice their beacon searches, super cool!

Big thanks to both Chris Shelly and Liz Wells for putting together such a great class for these kids!
