[pct-l] Snow skills

[Bill]

Hey Amanda,

I would like to get some lessons too.  If you end up putting together
something in the Big Bear/San Jacinto/San Gabrial/Los Angeles Forest area, I
would appreciate hearing about it.   I'd try to make it.

Okay, I have bought the equipment and watched the videos, but am under the 
impression that it takes more than that to learn the proper use of an ice 
axe to self-arrest and how to properly walk on ice with cramp-ons. I could 
just go to a local ski area and try to teach myself but everything I read 
seems to imply that there are some fine points that I could miss that way. I

checked the REI WEB Site, but they don't appear to have this training 
available, not yet anyway. Does anyone know somewhere where I could go for 
training near Los Angeles? I am willing to drive as far as Big Bear. 
Otherwise, maybe someone would be willing to share their knowledge on one 
Sunday? Hay, I'll buy ya a cup of hot coco when we're done! Okay, a hot 
toddy then. :)
