SUMMARY:Leadership Training
DESCRIPTION:Want to lead a day tour or an overnight trip but feel uncertain
  about your abilities to lead a group of skiers and want more support and 
 training? Or are you a seasoned trip leader who would like to improve your
  leadership skills in order to ensure that the trips you lead are successf
 ul and safe? Whichever is the case\, whether you’re a new or an experien
 ced leader\, here’s a great opportunity for any member of ONC-PDX. We ar
 e offering Leadership Training on Sunday\, January 24\, from 5:00 to 8:00 
 at the Mazama Mountaineering Center\, 527 SE 43rd Avenue (just off SE Star
 k) in Portland. The focus of the training will be on SAFETY\, our number o
 ne priority of the trips we lead (besides having fun in the snow). We’ll
  kick off the training with free pizza\, salad\, beer and wine. We’ll ta
 lk about some pre-trip necessities (choosing a tour\, advertising\, commun
 icating\, packing for the trip\, setting expectations at the car pool spot
 \, starting from the trailhead). Then we’ll break into groups to discuss
  important issues of maintaining safety: how to handle weak skiers\, how t
 o deal with difficult people\, how to lead an overnight trip of mixed abil
 ities\, and what to do if someone gets injured. We’re sure that many of 
 you have some worthy answers to these questions\, and we’ll have an oppo
 rtunity to share our collective wisdom. We’ll also take a look at resour
 ces for further training (e.g. wilderness first aid and avalanche training
 ) and share how the club can support you in your efforts to expand your kn
 owledge. Finally\, we’ll hear about what our insurance covers and how th
 at might affect you as a leader.Even if you’re not sure that you want to
  be a leader\, you are still welcome to this training. We all love cross-c
 ountry skiing and know how glorious it feels to be gliding across the snow
  on skis\, but there are times when things can go wrong\, and we want to d
 o everything in our power to avoid accidents or other miserable experience
 s and keep our tours and trips safe and enjoyable for everybody.If you pla
 n on attending\, please r.s.v.p. to Kim Davis by Jan.17th at cancionnueva@
 yahoo.com.
