FKNA! Glad to see you guys got a venue on campus! See you on the 26th.

Veterans and newbies alike consistently tell us that these courses are time well spent.

[iskibc]

Can never have enough education. I'll be there for sure.

[mntlion]

good for hacksaw.

[Fuzz]

Would these classes be good for an absolute newbie jong? One who has never been in the backcountry but would like to experience it (with the right knowledge, equipment & skills to use them of course)?

[lemon boy]

Would these classes be good for an absolute newbie jong?

Yes - Hacksaw puts on a great course and these are geared toward BC newbies.

Pnr -- I'll send out a bulletin to the folks on PMG's myspace list with the FOBP schedule. There's lots of Colorado people on our list....good info to share.

[snowfire]

I'll come to one of the Denver ones, and I'll probably bring 4 or 5 friends as well. I'm sure all my broke-ass PT school buds will be stoked on free bc education.

edit: Messiah Baptist Church? Can we drink beer? Maybe we can raid the communion wine.

OMG, yes. I can't even begin to say how much I owe him through formal and informal training and friendship. An amazing person in every single way. A real live snow guru and a such sweet soul. Ok, I'll stop gushing...

Halsted, I hope you are really happy. You and FOBP can do great things, I think. Looking forward to seeing you at Loveland later this month. And your knees, I hope they're ready!

SheRa: Spread the word up in Summit County. Let’s go big for this one.

That's a big 10-4. Brett might try to hug you again though.

[FiveLarge]

I'll be there for one of the Denver sessions. I need to get on board with the FOBP support as well...I assume one can "sign up" at the session?
