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. The TNSAR garage is located at 223 Fairway Drive in Tahoe City, next to the Tahoe City Fire Department.

For insurance purposes every participant of a TNSAR training must have a civil defense card issued through the Office of Emergency Services (OES). Placer County is the local issuing agency for the card; 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.

The following important notes are for training participants:

• RSVP the Training leader to aid in planning.
• Check out a suggested gear list for an idea of what to bring on a snow training.
• A nice training refresh is Randall's Map and Compass presentation, which you can find here.

The following important notes are for training leaders:

• Please fax or email a training log (they are in the truck) to Katrina Kane after each training.
• If you require a reimbursement from TNSAR (for lunch subsidy, equipment purchase, etc), hand this form for reimbursement to Scott Schroepfer or mail it to TNSAR.

Training is an essential part of the Team's activities--new skills are learned, old skills honed, dormant skills rewakened.

Please arrive at the garage ready to depart. Noted times are for departure. Be sure to come to the Team trainings equipped with personal gear--specialized equipment can be borrowed from the Team truck. The Team Garage is located at 223 Fairway Drive, Tahoe City behind the Chevron Station.
