National Ski Patrol

Region Director’s Report What a great winter with a great and plenty of cold to keep the snow. The North Central Region Congratulations to Norris Woody (2nd term), Morgan Central Division Armstrong, Tom Sherry, and David Walker all (1st Trained through the NSP term) for election to the National Board. Unfortunately and none of our central division patrollers were elected. Thanks to all who voted in the National election. We serving the and would like to see a larger voter turnout for the division Boarding Public via our Les Robinson next fall, that would give us a bigger voice from the Local Region Director Central Division.

Hills, Trails and Resorts This year we also will be having election for section chief for section III. The nominee’s are coming from our new section lines that were formed, therefore if anyone from the following patrols are interested get someone to nominate you. Section 3 ( Mtn, Pine Mtn, Navarino Slopes, Hidden Valley, Granite Peak, 9 Mile Forest, Standing Rocks) so nominate someone who you think would make a good section chief. If interested and you want to know the job de- scription let Carolyn DeJongh know. Also look up the election rules etc. in the P&P Inside this issue: at http://www.nspcentral.org/docs/bookshelf/policyandprocedure-rev9_30_13.pdf Use this link for election information. Here is the whole region realignment:

P 2 Tim’s Traverse -The North Central Board of Directors passed a resolution to realign the region to three sections beginning July 1, 2014. The move is designed to redistribute section Kasten’s Korner P 3 population more equitably so each section has between 190 and 230 patrollers each, rather than ranging from slightly more than 100 to well over 200 in the current Section Reports P 4 four section alignment. New sections will be as follows. Number of patrollers is as of 2012-2013 registration. Nordic Notes P 7 Section 1 (Mt. Ashwabay, 22 patrollers; Big Powderhorn, 29 patrollers; Blackjack, Spring Meeting Schedule P 8 13 patrollers; , 93 patrollers; Porcupine, 14 patrollers; Minoc- qua Winter Park, 10 patrollers; Camp 10, 15 patrollers)

Spring Banquet Registration P 9 Section 2 (Mt. Bohemia , 13 patrollers; Mt. Ripley, 72 patrollers; Marquette Moun- tain, 69 patrollers; Superior Nordic , 2 patrollers; Ski Brule, 62 patrollers; Gladstone Section Chief Election P 11 Sports Park, 8 patrollers) Announcement Section 3 (Norway, 42 patrollers; Pine, 24 patrollers; Navarino Slopes, 6 patrollers; Page 2 Powder Lines Winter 2014

Hidden Valley, 6 patrollers; Granite Peak, 98 patrollers; 9 Mile Forest, Bruce Mound, 25 patrollers; Standing Rocks 3 patrollers)

Most of our patrols are into the stage of completing on the hill S&T refreshers, first off all refreshers need to have an IT present please let your section chiefs help you get a IT, your courses need to be opened at NSP to be registered and then closed so make sure you are doing that; if help is needed contact Steve Beil our trusty region toboggan guru or an IT. Also if you wanting to have an toboggan enhancement seminar give our toboggan guy a call so he can help you plan it and get an IT to visit it. We do have many other events at the region level please look them up at the division calendar http://www.nsp- central.org/calendar.php

One thing I’d like to remind all patrollers is that we are to the point of the year that the awards are nearing comple- tion to be turned in, please make sure you find patrollers to write up for awards they are all around you and what better way to recognize someone that, with an award.

Tim’s Traverse By Tim Zimmerman, editor Practically Social “You living under the radar?”

Such was my recent greeting as I arrived for my ski patrol shift.

“Doing my best while living the dream.”

Living the dream has become a standard response for me lately. Being asked whether you are living under the radar begs the question whether or not radar has made detection.

For the most part I live off the Internet social grid. My real life obligations require I maintain a membership on Linked In. Beyond this, however, my social life tends to be conducted face to face with an occasional phone call or text to add flavor.

Techno-phobia is not the root cause of my near non-electronic existence. I very much enjoy technological innovation. It is tough to argue one would rather carry a patient from top of ski run to patrol room in an old wooden toboggan rather than a modern, fully equipped sled. In the same way I prefer to do research via the Internet rather than search volumes of written material.

On this point however I must make a confession. I still prefer the feel of a book in my hands when I read for pleasure or to relax. In the same way, when I proof read materials I find I am much more successful when I print out a hard copy and mark it up in red ink. Perhaps there is a bit of old school lurking under the radar within me.

The other day a fellow patroller from another region made a concerted effort to get me to join Facebook. “It will make it easier for us to share information with you Tim,” she said, as we made arrangements for photos to be sent to me via e-mail. “And, you can share your adventures with us. It will be fun.”

At times I suppose I am at a disadvantage due to my lack of electronic social stimulation. Earlier this ski season I Page 3 Powder Lines Winter 2014 was relating some news about my local patrol to a patroller friend from another area. “I learned about it on Face- book, but it is fun hearing it from you,” was the response. I am wise enough to know the comment was offered at least partially to make me feel good, so I allowed it to.

Sharing adventures in real time, face to face, is how I am going to live the dream. Some may view the statement as curmudgeonly others may see it as noble. For me it is neither. It is a matter of practicality.

My real life business investors prefer my social antics stay under the radar. I defer to their wisdom. They might be shocked to see my pirate tattoo plastered about the Internet and tagged to me. The artwork has been known to make social appearances from time to time. Those are best enjoyed face to face.

Ahoy!

Section One Report by Roger Bennetts Ashwabay Hill

Ashwabay has a new general manager. Tim Hines brings ski hill management experience and was a previous member of the National Ski Patrol from Bessemer, . Activities at the Ashwabay area include cross coun- try races, summit cross country races, NASTAR races, and high school races. One hundred per cent of the hill is open. O.E.C. classes will be a part of their spring program.

Blackjack

Blackjack this season has remodeled the second bar in the upper level and completed the new fireplace. The "Summit" patrol shed at the top of lift 'A' is up-and-running. The new groomer is making the corduroy slopes great to ski. A practice helicopter landing will be January 25th.

Blackjack is having a patrol weekend with Nordic Mountain, Little Switzerland, and Blackjack Patrols. We will be doing a NASTAR challenge, Yooper relay, and a scavenger hunt. Now that the cold weather has broken, Apres (Patrol Dog) is back on the slopes. The new entry way enclosures are complete and keeping the building nice and warm. The bungee jump has been refitted for customer enjoyment.

The Ski Patrol will be holding a fundraiser cook out on March 8th. The Pro Shop and downstairs cafeteria both have a new look. The Ski Patrol is doing/did a food fest for the lift operators where the Patrol members bring hot food and treats for the lift operators enjoyment. We bump chair while they have a great lunch.

One hundred per cent of the hill open, plenty of snow, and all lifts are operating with excellent conditions. Hill activities include a Boy Scout Program, Three Day Races (Jan. 31st - Feb. 2nd), and race clinics. New candidate training is in progress.

Porcupine Mountains

The Porkies is back in operation with one hundred per cent lifts open, new management, and three new beauti- ful fireplaces to warm the skiers. The Porkies is open Friday thru Monday, offering tree skiing, groomed trails, moguls, and teleskiing.

Jerry Linn is the Patrol Director and doing well health-wise.

Big Powderhorn Mountain

As we approach mid-season at Big Powderhorn, Ski Patrollers are having an active season. Patroller cover- age, based on the early season attendance, looks to be a continuation of the record-setting 2012-13 season. The holiday weeks were busy as expected, but thankfully, relatively uneventful as injuries go.

The BMP Patrol welcomes two new patrollers in 2014, Carol Heitman and Amie Roberson, and we are actively looking for new candidates for the 2014-15 season. The majority of the Patrol have completed toboggan refresh- ers, and toboggan training for candidates will begin in late January. Three Senior candidates are actively prepar- ing for testing in February and March. The Patrol will also be refreshing on key equipment and are working on plans for safety promotions and a fund-raising event for spring skiing.

In resort news, BPMR and other partner areas are offering season pass reciprocity deals including a free day Page 5 Powder Lines Winter 2014 or discounts at participating resorts, and our ski school has recently launched a Ladies' 'Ski Like a Girl' seminar meeting every Sunday.

Indianhead Mountain

Indianhead Mountain is finding things running at full speed ahead. The runs are 100% open with all lifts operatin- ing with plenty of snow! The hill has a “Boy Scout” program, with three days of races (January 31-February 2), Race Clinics, etc. There is new candidate training in progress. The ski conditions are excellent!

Section Two Report by Joe Matuszak Hello to all my fellow patrollers!

I want to thank everyone that voted in our NSP board of director election this fall, way to go.

This crazy season has brought us record temps and snowfalls in our region. I hope you have enjoyed them or avoided them, which ever your preference was!

The SES at Ski Brule in November was a great event! What a way to kick off the season with the likes of great instructors like Tom Anderson, Mark Herring and Steve Loukin. Hats off to Bob Salonen for coordinating that event. Mark your calenders to attend next year, always the weekend before Thanksgiving. Joe Matuszak Section Two Chief It was great to get out to many of our ski areas so far this year. I had the enjoyable opportunity to visit with Dale Feakes and the patrollers at Blackjack, Kristy Gollakner and patrollers at , Dan Dahlquist, Trudy Olson, Don Close, Scott Veenstra and the patrollers at , and Nancy Imm of Superior Nordic. I am looking forward to my visit with Patty Asselin and the patrollers at Mount Bohemia in February.

Everyone that made the North Central Region STW at Marquette on 1/18/14 had a great experience with all the opportunities to train in any one of many disciplines. Many thanks to the great instructors and to the one and only Kristy Gollackner for having hosted a very well organized event. Try not to miss this awesome event, the same weekend every January.

Look for it and so many other great NSP educational opportunities all season long in our Powderlines or Rusty

Section Three Report by Martin Olson

Hello Section #3 Patrollers and all other NCR patrollers!

What a great start to the year with all of the snow. The frigid cold temperatures could have stayed North of the Border, however.

Again, as mentioned in my last message in Powderlines, Section #3 is hosting the NCR Spring Meeting and Ban- quet. See the registration form in this issue for more details on dates, cost, and classes that will be available to you. I am asking for your assistance with making this another successful banquet. The Patrol Representatives will also be reaching out to you.

The success to the banquet is your attendance and submittals of award nominations. Kind of like the lottery, you Page 6 Powder Lines Winter 2014

can’t win if you don’t try.

Note that Brenda Robinson is the new Awards Administrator and that nomination form are available from the NSP website. See the calendar for deadline submit- tal. When your sooner the nomination is submitted, then Brenda, if time allow can review it to see if there are any corrections that would improve your submittal for you to make. Please take the time to nominate your fellow patroller for an award, your instructor, patrol, patrol rep. spouse, Merit Stars or if any patroller has been injured while on duty.

A big thank you to Garth Beauchamp for his tenor as PR at Pine Mountain. A big welcome to Jay VanZeeland for taking over for Garth. I spoke with Jay, he has a Martin Olson Section Three Chief lot going on at Pine. The patrol has grown over the years.

Challenge yourself or help others by instructing, attending clinics, Senior pro- gram, OEC classes, or some of the other educational opportunities available in the NSP programs.

This is my last year as Section Chief. If you would like to run for this position, contact the NCR Election Admin- istrator Carolyn DeJongh.

Be safe, have fun, and provide the best care that you can to our guests.

Section Four Report by Bruce Iattoni

Greetings from Section IV to all who choose to read this article.

It is January 15 and I just remembered I need to write a few words for the Winter Powder Lines. I guess what reminded me is maybe the snowstorm that we had yes- terday in what was forecasted to be only 2-5 inches of accumulation turned into 8 to 12 inches of nice fluffy powder in the central Wisconsin area.

This 2013/14 ski season is becoming quite a fabulous ski season. With the help of Mother Nature’s early cold temperatures for snow making along with the natural snow that has fallen and continues to fall, many ski areas have had the opportunity to open early, including the ski areas in Section IV. Granite Peak Ski Area, which happens Section Four Chief to be my home ski area, was able to open this year on November 16. Bruce Mound, Bruce Iattoni Standing Rocks, Nine Mile, Winter Park and Camp 10 all have been able to open early as the result of significant natural snow fall. Some of these ski areas listed do not have snow making capabilities and need to rely solely on natural snow fall.

Currently I am in the process of visiting and scheduling visits to meet with the all the patrols at their ski areas within Section IV. From what I am seeing and hearing, I am happy to report all the patrols are doing well. There are some exciting possible upgrades to a couple of our ski areas that could be happening within the next year or so. Stay tuned for further announcements on these upgrades in the future Powder Lines to come.

The Granite Peak Ski Patrol (formerly known as Rib Mountain Ski Patrol) is currently celebrating its 75th year as a member of the NSP. There has been a committee formed and is now working on ways to help celebrate this milestone. Page 7 Powder Lines Winter 2014

In December of 2013, I took the opportunity to go the STW up at Boyne Highlands. This was one of three STW’s within our area in December. What a great experience! I cannot say enough good things about the treatment and hospitality that was displayed by the Boyne Highlands, the Boyne Ski Patrol and all the individuals that in- structed and participated in this event. I have attended several training events throughout my years as a patroller and I have come to the conclusion that all training events are important to attend for the refreshing of our skills and knowledge base. I would like to encourage everyone, whenever possible, to invest a little time and money in yourself by taking advantage of these different training events and clinics that come along. There are many opportunities to participate and it really does not matter what role you participate as, could be an instructor, a candidate or a participant in any role, everyone learns in these events, and that is what makes us all better patrol- lers so we can all supply the best care possible to our guests. Do not stop learning.

I hope everyone enjoys all the powder we have been receiving and hope to see many of you at the Spring Ban- quet.

Nordic Notes By Betty Adams, Region Nordic The weath- er gave us a wonderful change from last year. With near perfect conditions thirteen pa- trollers from Illinois, Michi- gan, Minne- Betty Adams sota, and Wis- Region Nordic Administrator consin met at Minocqua Winter Park on the morning of January 11. One person was tested on Saturday and achieved Basic Nordic status. On Satur- day we practiced all trail skills and took some time to enjoy the wonderful condi- tions on our own. On Sunday Dan Clau- sen was our instructor for us to advance our striding and skating techniques. On Monday eight patrollers prac- ticed Telemark techniques with Dan. He did an excellent job of providing enhancement for skiers with very little experience up to those who were experts.
