  • Fall 2011.Indd
    Rusty Parka News Vol. 50 Issue 1 www.nspcentral.org Fall 2011 Division Director’s Report Change…..Don’t you just hate it? So, maybe we should go back 10 years ago when times were better. The economy was strong, the country was thought of as a world leader, we weren’t all consumed with electronic com- munication, we even used to talk to our children and neighbors, and on and on. Maybe we would be better if we went 20, 30, 40 years ago. Or perhaps we should go to the 1930’s when the ski industry was just getting started after WWII and many of the 10th Mountain Division members were returning to the US and establishing ski resorts. Sure we could even strap on those ole wooden skis, put on our leather laced boots and get taken off the mountain on an ole corrugated tin roof. Or we could perhaps use those new shaped skis, with air bladder boots and foot beds with our brand new technical clothing that keeps the cold out and disperses the moisture being released after completing a diffi cult bump run at high altitude. Should we Jim Woodrum use the Green American Red Cross Book as our Division Director standard of training or do the pre-cordial thump? Surely we know more today about medical health, Parka Picks more effi cient ski equipment, what medical pro- cedures are more effective than others, etc. etc.. Well you know where this is going! What Would You Do Pg. 4 CD Elections Pg. 5 Change is good and is consistent.

    Rusty Parka News Vol. 50 Issue 2 www.nspcentral.org Winter 2012 Division Director’s Report What does the word “patroller” mean? I’m sure many of you have thought about that and oth- ers may not. I get messages from lots of folks and this one I believe is worth sharing. This comes to me from an area owner and what he feels about his patrol. I won’t share the whole note but just parts that may be of interest to us all: “I want to personally thank all of the patrollers who really pitched in frantically attacking the ice mound on the left ramp so we could even open up and all of the other patrollers who pitched in way beyond the normal call of duty to help clear up icy patches on the hill as we brought our groomer back to the point we could start using the pulverizer and get up to a good condition. Quite honestly between the transmission going out on the large groomer and the near disas- trous snowmaking I was about ready to throw in the towel...at age 71 I just don’t quite Jim Woodrum have the physical or mental stamina I used to…. Division Director My wife and I had conferred and decided if we had to we would use personal funds to pay off the bills Parka Picks and refund the season pass holders and be done with it- not too many of you, if any were aware of this at the moment- Kasten’s Korner Pg.

    Rusty Parka News Vol. 49 Issue 3 www.nspcentral.org Summer 2011 Division Director’s Report Talk about a quick transition from snowfall to summer, this year seems like it flew by. Perhaps that is the sign of getting older or perhaps visiting a large number of resorts, ski patrol events like senior evaluations, region meetings and banquets, and the certified event. Whatever the cause this winter/spring came and went and now we are deep into summer. I hope all of you are ready for the fall because in just a few weeks OEC classes will begin, CPR and OEC refreshers will hit the books, and the new skis/boards and boots will be ordered. Talking about OEC by now most of you should have ordered and received your new OEC 5th edition book. You will need to have that or the electronic version in order to complete your requirements for this year’s OEC refresher. What we can tell you is that all your OEC Instruc- tors/IT’s are already into their preparation for these events and that tells me that ski season is getting close by.
