Hey, my name is Ian Wedow. I work for Vail Fire and Emergency Services. I am looking for a train the trainer ice rescue course. I just wanted to ask if you guys were going to do any other courses this winter other than the one in Estes Park on February 3-5. That one just doesn’t work with my schedule. If not no worries I just wanted to ask. Thanks again. Ian

Myself and one of our department Training Officers are interested in coming down to Greenley to partake in the IRT course. Is this course open to out of country participants?
