Getting ready to get ready…


OK, lots of training.  We are ready to go right?  When do we get to start?

Well….  now that we have finished OEC, it seems not every OEC class is the same so its time already for a refresher to get all the different classes on the same page….  (didn’t we just finish the class like two weeks ago?).  Regardless we have to be trained as a unit so our first day on the hill wasn’t on the hill, it was in one of our instructors back yards and we spent a full day doing a refresher of first aid.  Granted we all suck and need the training but the getting ready to get ready bit is getting old.  Put me in coach!  OK, second thoughts.   They are probably right.  I’d be fine right now with minor stuff but if my first wreck was a broken pelvis with internal bleeding, I’d be in trouble!

About joinskipatrol

Chris is in his candidate year as rookie patroller in Southern California. While going through the OEC training he spent many a late night trying to find online resources about joining a ski patrol and came up short so he decided to share his experiences here so others might get interested and join the patrol also. If you find this helpful, please drop me a line. Good luck and hope you decide to sign up and go for the Patrol!
