• While we eat lunch together, we will have group discussions of MCI patients.
• In the afternoon, we will rotate through scenario stations, which will be very realistic.
• Steve will sign OEC cards.
• After the refresher, PNSP will have a brief patrol meeting.

Requirements
To get credit for the refresher, you must:

• Be currently registered as a National Ski Patroller, with your dues for the upcoming season paid.
• Be checked off at all the skills stations.
• Be checked off at all the scenario stations, including at least one complete patient assessment. 

Patients for scenarios
We need patients for the afternoon scenarios (12:30 to 4:30). Let me know if you can provide friends or family. Kids welcome if they are old enough to remember and act out their roles.
Moulage experts from my wilderness program will coach them and apply accident makeup. Make sure they bring or wear old clothes, because the makeup is messy.
