Cascade Mountain Ski Patrol

Hi everyone,I hope you all had a great summer. If it was anything like mine it was way too short.With the refresher only a week away there are a couple of things that I would like each of you to consider prior to the October 6th refresher.1.Shift sign-up and commitment- Because of issues in the past with crews being left short handed, due to patrollers not making their assigned shift and not finding a sub, we are enforcing our un excused absence policy this year. So please be prepared to sign-up to a shift that you know you can make each week. As in the past if you cannot make your shift, it's your responsibility to find a sub.Details of the policy changes will be given to each of you at the refresher. If you choose to change shifts from last year, you must talk to me first, before any changes can be made.2. Shifts needing help- Monday days, Tuesday days, Saturday nights, and Sunday nights are still in need of more help. If any patroller is willing to change to any of these times, it would really be appreciated.The instructors have a great refresher planned that is guaranteed to be challenging, but fun.I look forward to seeing each of you again, and if you have any questions for me prior to the refresher, please don't hesitate to drop me a note or call me at (608) 220-5086Joe Rileyjjriley76@earthlink.net
