The David Pettigrew Memorial Foundation is pleased to announce sponsoring its first mountain safety course.  The course will also be sponsored by the Association of Professional Patrollers (“APP”) with the support and collaboration of Stevens Pass, The Summit at Snoqualmie and Mission Ridge.  The course is FREE and the schedule is TBD.

The courses will emphasize ski area basics (know the code), skiing with buddies, tree well and deep snow safety and basic first-aid. Although the courses will be directed primarily to 10-15 year olds, others are welcome to register. Class size will be limited to no more than 25 students per class, and there will be at least 3 instructors for each class.

The primary instructors will be Corey Rubinfeld (an APP certified ski patroller, professional ski patroller and medical trainer at Stevens Pass, AIARE Avalanche Instructor, and high school science teacher and course director for Outward Bound Wilderness) and Kevin Marston (16 years professional ski patroller, currently at Alpental Ski Area at Snoqualmie, a Washington State DOT avalanche forecaster, and current president of the Backcountry Rescue Canines Association). The additional instructors will be from the three participating ski areas.
