The Training and Leadership Committee is hosting a superb all day informative seminar and workshop on Mountain Weather, to be conducted by Rod Plasman starting at 9am on Saturday, April 17th.
Rod comes highly recommended by the National ACC and will share a vast amount of knowledge with us that will allow us to be more weather wise when we are outdoors. Starting right from an explanation of the basic mechanisms that create our weather, we will learn to recognize weather patterns, local anomalies and conditions associated with various weather systems.
This seminar is a "must attend", for all those that plan extensive trips outdoors and are trip leaders, to be informed in advance of what is coming your way and be able to plan accordingly. Along with first aid training, weather prediction is a vital component in your inventory of safety skills. Rod will also have us go outside and do some field work that day.
We at the T&L committee are honored to have Rod provide us with his expertise and hope that this educational workshop will be of benefit to our section and its members.
For those of you that have attended my workshop on mountain weather in the past, this should not regarded as a repeat, but feature a much greater depth of information and analysis.
Required Items to Bring:
Pen & Paper and on account of it being a full day, bring some lunch.

Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
