Discover the "Backcountry Difference".

Thursday, July 23rd, 6:00 PM at REI meeting room in Bloomington, MN


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.
