5pm Friday at Baker Lodge. Part of this two-day workshop will be at Baker Lodge but most of the weekend will be in the Baker Backcountry.

• Deepen operational and risk management skills to foster team engagement.
• Develop proficiency in an analysis of hazards and risk related to skiing with their students, with emphasis on prevention (skills for reducing the likelihood of a ski injury) and on reducing vulnerability (sled rescue skills).
• Contribute to the development of the Mountaineers avalanche education program.
• Build community and see how they individually contribute to risk management.
