Great ideas, Doxey-here's my 2 cents' worth:

The crevasse rescue clinic sounds very attractive. I think such a class would be most useful if it could focus on the two- and three-person rope team rescue scenarios, for those who don't usually climb with larger groups. And the techniques useful for the smaller rope teams are more translatable to the larger team scenarios rather than vice-versa.

I like the idea of an avvy course-you can never have too much avalanche awareness training-I could envision a course that becomes an annual refresher-type, involving both classroom and an outing. Avoidance is where it's at, for sure...

The Alaska Outing sounds fantastic-what area(s) come to mind?

As always, thanks for all your hard work on behalf of the club. See you tomorrow!
