It\u2019s going to be epic!<\/p>\n<p>Registrations are now open for the event, which includes an optional skills seminar on Friday, March 1. The main event is on Saturday with the first aid competition with an on snow toboggan-handling component, and the separate, timed toboggan course competition. It all wraps up Saturday night with an awards banquet, featuring those patroller teams that delivered the best performances in first aid and with the toboggan. This event is legendary.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it was in 1969 that Mountain Division held its inaugural first aid competition featuring three-person teams in judged first aid scenarios, and a series of, er, controlled toboggan descents with a stopwatch. Setting the toboggan course then was a young Dave Marchant, who went on to become Mountain Division Life Member No. 1. Dave will be continuing the 50-year tradition by setting the course in 2019, and at the same resort as in 1969!<\/p>\n<p><b>Registration forms and fees<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Registration forms and the 2019 Comp poster can be found on the CSP Mountain Division website, located <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/mountain\/2019-division-comp-details-celebrating-50-years-of-excellence-in-first-aid-and-on-snow\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<!-- I should be able to link directly on the division website.
