    Rafting Course and Instructor’s Materials The first responsibility of a raft guide is to get all their passengers safely down the river. Forward The contents of this manual reflects the rafting course taught in the Adventure Sports program at Garrett College. The materials contained in this manual follow closely the content of the course and represents the evolution of the course over the years. The materials in this manual represent over twenty-five years of instruction. The manual is designed to complement the American Canoe Association (ACA) Level 4 Rafting (Paddle) instructor’s course. An objective in creating this manual was to provide materials that will encourage the teaching of the ACA course. The ACA outline has been synthesized into seven chapters (eight including the teaching materials). An effort has been made to include most of the topic on the outline. The manual is presented on the author’s website for instructors who want to augment their courses with the materials. An effort has been made to represent both east and west rafting. There are some differences. Also, rowing oar rigs is included in the strokes and maneuver sections. This helps to expand the usability of the manual. Representing the east/west divide and the Figure 0.1: Powerful Popper – Running R-1, the author is running paddle versus oar rig are Figure 0.1 and Power Pop-up on the Upper Youghiogheny in Western Maryland in Figure 0.2.

  • Cascades Butterfly Project North Cascades National Park Resource Brief - 2011
    CASCADES BUTTERFLY PROJECT NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK RESOURCE BRIEF - 2011 Cascades Butterfly Project Climate change is expected to affect mountain ecosystems in many ways. Scientists predict that warmer summers may result in earlier snowmelt, more frequent forest fires, and changes in distributions of plants and animals. Although some ecosystem changes have already been observed, (e.g. melting glaciers), many future impacts remain uncertain.

  • SNOWMASS DEBUTS NEW BIKE LOOP from Downhill, Cross-Country to Road Biking and New Expanded Trails, Bike Snowmass Offers Options for Everyone
    Media Contact: Patsy Popejoy 970-922-2285 or [email protected] PARADISE ON TWO-WHEELS – SNOWMASS DEBUTS NEW BIKE LOOP From Downhill, Cross-Country to Road Biking and New Expanded Trails, Bike Snowmass offers options for everyone SNOWMASS, Colo., (May 2016) – The same mountain that offers more than 3,300 skiable acres and 4,406 vertical feet in the winter becomes a two-wheel paradise once the snow melts. With an ever-expanding network of more than 75 miles of mountain bike trails and an expansive rental, and instruction program, options abound for everyone from the budding beginner to the thrill-seeking seasoned downhiller. Snowmass is constantly expanding its bike product for travelers. The new Snowmass Loop bike trail debuts in late June, with 24 miles of single track combining over 10 different trails which can be split into three or four different segments. Whether it’s a gravity-defying rush of a world-class downhill trail or gentle single-track through meadows bursting with wildflowers, Snowmass offers some of Colorado’s best biking options. Downhill Mountain Biking – It’s all downhill from here Cyclists seeking an adrenaline rush need to look no further than Snowmass Bike Park, where downhill biking trails weave their way from the top of the Elk Camp Chairlift down to the Snowmass Village base — a thrilling descent of 2,893 feet. Advanced downhillers can get their thrills on the 3.2-mile, 1,400-vertical-foot Valhalla freeride trail with jumps, table tops and a wall ride. Additional lift-served options include Vapor and Viking, two trails that offer up a combined 6.2 miles of downhill over bridges and berms and through forest and meadows, from the top of Snowmass’ Elk Camp chairlift to the base of the mountain.

  • Orienteering at Brighton Woods
    ORIENTEERING AT BRIGHTON WOODS • There are eight numbered posts (controls) for the orienteering course at Brighton Woods. Each has a number that corresponds to the number on the Brighton Woods Orienteering Map, but they may be found in any order. • It is easier to go directly from control to control when there is less ground cover: late fall, winter, and early spring. Long pants are recommended because of the poison ivy and ticks. 1. NUMBERED CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS 1. Sports Field 2. Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing 3. Amphitheater 4. The Bridge 5. Head of Trail 6. Rock Outcropping 7. River 8. Northeast End of Pipeline Clearing 2. PLOTTING THE COURSE • Find control #1 on the map.(The Sports Field.) • On the map, line up one edge of the compass from where you are (Control #1: Sports Field) to where you want to go, (Control # 2: Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing) making sure the direction-of-travel arrow faces your destination point. (This is the first secret of orienteering.) • Rotate the housing of the compassso that the gridlines are parallel to the North - South gridlines on the orienteering map. The cardinal point N must be at the North side of your map. (This is the second secret to orienteering.) • Readyour bearing in degrees at the Bearing Index. (At the Direction-of- Travel line, or the "Read Bearing Here" mark.) The number of degrees is * • Do not rotate the housing again until you need a new bearing! 3. FINDING THE FIXED CONTROLS • Stand directly in front of the control #1 and hold your compass level and squarely in front of your body.
