Avalanche Awareness Course at Tigert Feb 7, 8
Paul Gritton reminds residents that “Avalanche class is coming up Feb. 7 & 8. Classroom 7th, with a field day the 8th. This class is put on by the Idaho Dept. of Parks & Rec. A minimum number of folks have to be signed up before they will come teach the class. Last check showed only 2 people signed up. This is excellent training and free, and should be taken advantage of as it might save a life.
Information about the event and registration can be found on https://reced.idaho.gov/Course/GetCourseSiteDetails?courseSiteId=6271. If the link doesn't work, visit the reced.idaho.gov, visit to Snow section and find the Soda Springs Class and register.
