Lift Evac and Refresher

Lift Evac & Patrol Refresher
Wachusett Mountain
October 25-26


Ok, so this past weekend Was the Wachusett Mountain Ski Patrol refresher and Lift evac. The refresher was on Saturday, from 7:30-4:00 it was a long day, but it gets us thinking about what to do in certain situations. Some of the people needed A LOT of help, but others were in good shape. I was a victim in the afternoon, but had nothing to do in the morning, so it was REALLY BORING for me. the afternoon was a lot faster!!


Lift Evac was a lot of fun, and wasn't too cold this year, some people will argue with me tho. All the patrollers and Rangers were required to be there, and there were no major problems.

Mass Jam 2008

Mass Jam 2008
North Falmouth, MA

This past weekend was Mass Jam, a big scouting event that happens every few years. This year was the first time in a while that it did not rain the entire time. I spent most of my time catching up with people i have not seen for a while, and helped with the awsome theme show "Stars".

There were a lot of different things to do including a climbing wall, air rifles, archery, the action wall, a 1st aid course, blacksmithing, mountain boarding, friction bridge, and a few random exhibits. There were a lot of people there i knew. We also had a Venturing dance, well more of a get together Sunday night.
