If you’re interested in attending an MTR course (Mountain Travel and Rescue), I recommend reaching out as soon as possible to get yourself on the list! MTR Courses are beginning to appear on the EDiv Calendar. They can also be found on EDiv’s Patroller School.
The role of the MTR Program is to provide ski patrollers and interested members of the public with knowledge and skills that:
- Enhance their effectiveness at ski patrolling.
- Build their outdoor leadership capacities.
- Enable them to serve as assets and leader in search and rescue operations, especially in winter settings and mountain environments.
