The Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team holds several training sessions every month throughout
the autumn, winter, and spring. Training exercises vary from the ubiquitous terrain familiarization
to first aid, avalanche safety or backcountry navigation. The Team trainings are designed to be
fun and informative and all Team members are encouraged to attend.
Please RSVP with the contact Training leader to aid in planning.
For insurance purposes, every participant of a Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team training
must sign on for a civil defense card issued through the Office of Emergency Services (OES).
Placer County is the local issuing agency for the card; if you need to sign on please call the
sheriff's substation in Tahoe City for more information. Members of other Search and Rescue Teams
(with current California State OES Card) may be welcome; please check with the training leader.
Wondering what to bring? Check out a suggested
gear list.
