Refresher Season 2024 is Open!It's that time of year again – OEC refresher season! You know what that means... ski season is creeping up, and it's time to dust off those skills (and maybe your skis, too). Don’t just daydream about powder days – check the Eastern Division calendar, your Region’s calendar, and your local patrol’s calendar for your refresher date. And hey, don’t forget to tackle that OEC online portion and whatever other hoops your mountain wants you to jump through. Better to do it now than panic later!
