Cascade Backcountry Ski Patrol

Good stuff.

When you are ready for 542, we are ready for you. Pretty well what we do every weekend anyways -- minus the patches and meetings.

This looks like fun but the schedule on your web page only lists OEC stuff...

1. When do you start the mountain rescue and survival classes and the avi classes (do you do train own - and if you dont - where do you get this training)?
2. Do you do most of training out of the Snowqualamie Pass or where?
3. How often do you meet for training (monthly on Saturdays)?
4. OEC takes a fee but what about the rescue training?
5. What is the age cut off (I got a teenager to drag along)?

Like tim_place said for 542...when you are ready for 410 and Paradise, we are ready for you.

Couple other questions...
1. Do we get to pull people's passes for ducking ropes?
2. Are we guaranteed first tracks before public?
3. Do we have to wear those awful red coats with the targets on the back?
4. And most exciting, do we get to throw bombs?

C'mon, Eric.  This is backcountry stuff.  No ropes, no passes, no tracks, no uniforms. :

But a few hand charges sure would be handy for AVI control!! 

Yeah Tim I know. Bad me. I just needed a good laugh this morning.

I'm in too if we get to carry dynamite.
Cornice dropping is a lot of work
