Website Updates

I added three new User Menu Options: Photo Album (what it says), Calendar (a google calendar with few entries as of yet) and Photo Blog (all the photos that have been on the homepage ... and then some).  

The patrol directory is still down, sorry. Will update as progress is made.

 
Record Avalanche Danger

Due to the amount of snowfall, avalanche danger and power outages, the Spaghetti Feed and Alpental's 40th Celebration have moved to February 16. Take a look at this WSDOT video that shows some behind-the-scenes avalanche control. Also, take a look at the latest statistics for the number of avalanche deaths around the U.S (Washington tops the list). Get the latest weather synopsis from the Northwest Weather Bulletin. Plus, get the latest Alpental snowpack info. Be safe out there. Heads up!

So you forgot your password, huh? You can reset it yourself by clicking on "Lost Password" just under the Login section. Enter your email address and then an electronically generated message will send you a new password. Then log in and change your password to something you can remember. I prefer you use your nspid number, but I'm picky that way. Questions? Email the webmaster. 
 
Avalanche Risks Are Mounting In WA
Unusually heavy and persistent snow has resulted in the state's deadliest avalanche season in 30 years. Eight people have been killed or are presumed dead as a result of avalanches in Washington state since Dec. 1. Read the full story in the Seattle Times.
 
Liability Release & Volly Season App
Here are the liability release and patroller contact forms in PDF format. Please print them, fill them out, sign them, and turn them in at the Alpental OTH Refresher on November 3. You cannot patrol without them! Also, here's the Volunteer Season Pass Application, which you should also fill out and bring to the Refresher. If you cannot download this file, use the contact webmaster link and let me know.
