2010 ADULT LEADER SNOW AND ICE TRAVEL

  Enjoy the challenge of high mountain travel with confidence in your safety and first-hand knowledge of snow and ice travel techniques. Your judgment and skills will be sharpened and your knowledge of safe and effective practices for snow slope travel will allow you to expand your list of places you can reach in the great outdoors.

  The High Adventure Team Snow and Ice Travel Training provides a direct opportunity for practice in the use of an ice axe. You will use this handy device for snow travel, rope team relay, arrest techniques and exhilarating glissades.

  This program is conducted in two parts. The program begins with an indoor seminar at the Los Angeles Area Council Scout Headquarters on Saturday, 6 November 2010. Check in will begin at 8:00 am and the program will conclude at 6:00 pm. (Note: The portion of the program directly related to ice axe use is scheduled for 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Those, and only those, who have completed the Winter Camping and Travel Training may elect to skip the 8:00 am to 4:00 pm portion of the Saturday program since it deals specifically with snow travel.)

  The classroom phase will be followed by a required outdoor field trip which is scheduled for Saturday, 22 January 2011. Insufficient snow on that day will cause rescheduling.

  It is recommended that attendees have prior Adult Leader Backpack Training and/or some backpack skills and experience. Successful participation at this course enables the graduate to lead backpacking expeditions and meet the requirements for the Council High Adventure Awards.
