No OEC SouthBay in 2024

Unfortunately, there won't be a SouthBay OEC class this Fall, 2024.  I'm pointing people to Emmett Peck's EastBay OEC.  Emmett is an excellent instructor and runs a great class. Info on his class here.

Congratulations once again to all the past candidates, and big thanks to all the patrollers and others who supported the class over the years.  It's been an honor and a pleasure.

And to the new candidates, good luck with you training.  I am confident you'll find ski patrol both enjoyable and rewarding.
