Regional OET Advisors, Trudy Nye and Steve Pardella, are available to help individual patrols with sled/toboggan instructor sign-offs, clinics, testing and equipment use. Also, the region has extra sleds which can be used for testing and training so you don't have to use your ski area equipment.

March 17-19, 2010 - Squaw Valley Spring Ski and Toboggan Seminar
For over 25 years this event has been enjoyed by patrollers from all over the Far West Division. It provides an opportunity to handle tobaggons in variable terrain and try various techniques. Half day ski lessons taught by Squaw Valley's finest instructors will complement your sled running.
The seminar is limited to 24 attendees and sign-ups are on a first-come basis. The cost will be approximately $200 for the 3 days. This includes a buffet dinner on Thursday night.
This year we are also offering a Spouses clinic. Why should the patrollers get all the fun. This package includes 3 days of lift tickets and 3 half day lessons. A substantially reduced price of approximately $280 for non-Squaw spouses will keep everyone happy.
Spouses is loosely defined, as being someone associated with a participating patroller.

12th Annual Heavenly Women’s Proficiency Clinic - 2009
Another Success Story!
By Trudy Nye, TI
13 women patrollers met at Heavenly’s California side in dreary, wet weather to participate in the 12th year of women’s proficiency clinics. Ski patrols participating included Heavenly, Squaw and Dodge Ridge. By the time we headed uphill on the tram, the rain subsided and we had no precipitation for our sled handling on Waterfall, an expert but short run with lots of moguls. Everyone did a wonderful job, had a great time, improved techniques and learned new skills. All groups made 4 or 5 passes and had lots of practice and hands-on time. After breaking for lunch, we met 2 of Heavenly’s top female ski instructors and had a 3-hour lesson in the double black diamond back bowls of Mott Canyon. We finished the day taking our final run on The Face, East Bowl, hitting the bumps.
Everyone agreed that it was a great day, fantastic snow conditions, a heck of a lot of fun, and wonderful “female bonding”!!!
Every year, the Heavenly Women’s Proficiency clinic is on the last Sunday of February. Check the Heavenly Area Ski Patrol website for additional information.
