On Saturday, January 23, 1999, the Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol held a Mock Rescue exercise, incorporating the use of the Albany County Sheriff's Office rescue equipment and personnel from the Medicine Bow Routt National Forest. Pictured are patrollers Rich Behounek (Rescue Sled Pilot), Myron Allen (Chief Coordinator for the Day), USFS Liaison Lisa Marno (Sled Number Two Pilot) and patroller Todd Thibodeau (Mock Patient sporting Mock knee injury). |

Beginning at an ungodly early hour on Sunday, November 21, 1999, the Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol held its annual On-The-Trail Refresher. Topics of the refresher included avalanche rescue cache review, use of probe poles and organization of probe lines, use of GPS resources for locating and S&R activities, and "how to not lose your buddy on a nice Sunday afternoon tromp through the forest (ahem, Sandy)!" |

No, that's not a Martian. The antenna sticking up above Patroller Henry Heasler's pack is the "business end" of a Trimble realtime differentially correcting GPS. Henry is shown on the Potholes route, mapping in travel corridor for transfer to GIS mapping software. |

Patrol Director Todd Thibodeau accepts a check for $500 donated by the Mount Crescent Ski Patrol. Presenting the check is Rich Behounek, Director for the Eastern Region of the Rocky Mountain Division of the National Ski Patrol. These funds allow the MBNSP to purchase a King Radio for use by patrollers, in addition to the USFS units. |

The annual on-hill refresher day for the Medicine Bow Nordic Ski Patrol included an examination of snow conditions out on the Libby Creek Trail during November 1997. Some of our swashbuckling crew is shown here soaking up what remains of the afternoon sun before heading back down to the Green Rock Parking Area. |
