Save the dates November 20 and 21, 2021. The classroom session for BMC will be held that Saturday and Sunday weekend at Volunteer Forces, 199 N. Hangar Way, San Bernardino, CA 92415.

Please sign up at: https://forms.gle/rx2AJMvBXRj9FFAh8. For members of San Bernardino county SAR teams, you must use your SBSAR email address.

At the end of the classroom session, participants will receive a certificate for Winter Alpine Awareness (WAA). This will allow you to participate on some non-technical winter missions involving snow.

Individuals who are certified as Rope Rescue Operators (RRO) may go on to take the BMC field session. After completion of that two day field experience, you will be BMC certified and can attend all winter SAR missions.

The situation with COVID-19 virtually changes day by day. We will not know until November if it affects class size. And, of course, it is possible the class could be cancelled entirely. Please be patient and understanding.
