The Backcountry Trail Patrol is the National Mountain Bike Patrol
(NMBP) unit that patrols the mountain bike trails on the Chippewa
and Chequamegon National Forests, and several Minnesota DNR venues
(and also does ski patrol in the winter). This session will cover
the essentials required to be a part of the Backcountry patrol in
addition to the required NMBP and Wilderness First Aid (WFA)
training. Using US Forest Service videos, we will cover what is
needed to work safely and effectively on popular
"backcountry" MTB trails such as Rock Lake and Simpson
Creek. The class is essential for any NMBP patrollers who would
like to patrol on the CAMBA system in Wisconsin, MORC Patrol
members who would also like to be part of Backcountry Trail
Patrol., or ski patrollers who are interested in becoming
cross-certified with NMBP.
