  • National Avalanche Center 2001-2002 Season Roundup
    TH E A Publication of the American Avalanche Association RE V I E W VOLUME 21, NO. 1 • FALL 2002 • US $4.95 On the web at www.a v a l a n c h e . o rg / ~ a a a p National Avalanche Center 2001-2002 Season Roundup Compiled by Janet Kellam ompiler’s note: This article is a compilation of season summaries from the network of Regional Avalanche Centers that receive funding from the US Forest C Service. In the past, we have produced this article in the spring, leaving a gaps with no information from the late spring and summer seasons. TAR is now publishing this roundup in the fall issue, in hopes of providing a more complete summary of avalanche center information. There are two additional Avalanche Centers in the NAC network: UAC/Bear River Avalanche Center-Logan and the Tahoe National Forest Avalanche Center. Their season summaries were unavailable at press time. Forest Service National Avalanche Center Those of us in the FS National Avalanche Center like to think of ourselves as the little center with the big name. The NAC has two employees, Karl Birkeland in Bozeman, Montana and Doug Abromeit in Ketchum, Idaho. The NAC, among other things, provides program guidance and support to local FS avalanche centers, facilitates technology transfer to FS field units, coordinates the FS national avalanche awareness program and manages the FS military artillery program. The past year was a good one. The NAC started the season by hosting the annual fall meeting for US avalanche centers. We held the meeting in Snowbasin, Utah and devoted one day to the nuts and bolts business of running an avalanche center and a second day to cutting edge avalanche technology including several excellent scientific presentations.

  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.
