Cascade Mountain Ski Patrol

From Bill Davis, former DH patroller and another ski nut.  We need 16 people from Tyrol to positively commit for this to fly, plus interest from the other hills.  I know I'll sign up if we get enough, I need all the help I can get.  And, I am doing the ski enhancement seminars also.  Please send me a note only if you're interested.  Bill can answer questions also.Regards,Doug MeierI am working closely with Michael Rogan PSIA Demo Team Member to bring him to Wisconsin for a 3 day "Road Show." One day each at Devil's Head, Cascade and Tyrol. Most likely a Friday, Saturday, Sunday - exact dates TBD. Intent is to open up this lesson opportunity only to the 3 resort Ski Instructors and Ski Patrollers.  If there were any open slots - vacancies could be opened up to the general public - however, we have a strong preference to fill these lessons with only professionals.As you know Michael has been a PSIA Demo Team member for a number of years and he has teamed up with Stu Campbell. Together they have been featured in SKI magazine instruction articles for well over a year. Most recently they co authored a couple of articles in the November 2005 SKI magazine. Michael Rogan is also listed as one of the top 100 SKI magazine instructors - November 2005 issue.  At each resort for 1 day Michael would conduct a 3 hour morning lesson (9:00 - 12:00 p.m.) and a 3 hour afternoon lesson (1:00p.m. - 4:00p.m.). Actual lesson times are flexible. Group size not to exceed 8 skiers per group lesson - to ensure adequate interaction with all "students." That means only 16 lesson slots each day at each resort. 8 lesson slots in the morning and 8 in the afternoon. 3 hour lesson cost $40.00. By holding the event at each resort - pros from that resort would not need to purchase a lift ticket to go along with the lesson - keeping lesson cost as low as possible. $40! .00 for a 3 hour lesson with this caliber of instructor is one of the best deals anyone will see around this area this ski season. Michael books private 1 hour lessons for about $100.00 an hour. Each lesson group would collectively determine lesson objectives. Mogul skiing, perfecting your shaped ski techniques - whatever - Michael has a quiver loaded with various lesson plans he can adapt to fit any group need. I have been in lessons with Michael - this format works extremely well - he does an exceptional job of meeting individual and group needs.This is still in the preliminary stages of planning - more will be determined after we know how much interest there is.  Thanks,Bill Davis Email address is billski "at" yahoo.com
