2008 Avalanche Training
We had a fantastic turnout for a superb annual avalanche training session. Friday night, 11 January, we met at the Northeast Teller Fire Station for a classroom session.

Kudos go to Mitch Walma for planning and executing a superb training event that got us all prepared to participate in avalanche rescue operations.
