Avalanche safety class offered in Cedaredge

Avalanche awareness, decision making and personal safety during winter outings will be the focus of avalanche training sponsored by the Delta SnoKrusers and North Fork Snowmobile Club.

The first session is Friday, Jan. 11, at 6 p.m. at The Creek Side Cafe in Cedaredge, one block north of the stoplight.

A chili supper will be provided before class or you can order off the menu at your own expense.

On Saturday, class participants will head to Grand Mesa. Meet at the Mesa Top parking lot at 9 a.m. Bring beacons, shovels, probes and snowshoes if you have them. Beacons and probes will be available for those who don't have them. Just bring what you have and dress warm Saturday.

The cost is $10 for Colorado Snowmobile Club members and $20 for non-members. The registration fees will be used to purchase door prizes. To register, call Joe Oglesby at 921-3002.

Delta SnoKrusers will have a guide or two available after class for anyone new to the Grand Mesa wanting to go for a ride.

The North Fork Snowmobile Club can be reached at 872-2167. Contact the Delta SnoKrusers at 270-4474.
