No joke! Las Vegas has a very small but nice ski area near Mt. Charleston. It's base is at 9,000 ft. and rises to over 10,000 ft.

I'm taking the NSP Outdoor Emergency Care course - again. I was a Nordic NSP Ski Patroller/EMT in Pennsylvenia for 10 years. Also made it into the '80 Olympic Nordic Patrol. Great fun.

But this is my 1st time as an alpine patroller. Ought to help improve my ski skills a lot this year. BTW, at 65 I'm NOt the oldest patroller on the mountain.
