Ski Patrol Exams

I have just returned for the last time this winter from Thredbo. It was a great weekend with 30cm of fresh dry snow - I really cant complain about knee deep powder 4 weeks before the end of the season!

The Ski patrol exam was pretty good, I managed to pass the mountain knowledge bit - pretty good after only 15 days of skiing there! The Akja test was a fail, but at least I dont have to wait a complete year to retake it. Over the summer we learn about chairlift evacuations and advanced first aid similar to that of ambulance personell.

With that we change seasons and I start on the beach again going for Lifesaving and IRB recerts this week. The end of september brings the official start of the lifesaving season. I am really looking forward to some summer heat and barbecue's!
