Jim and Barry work at one of the local ski lodges each winter. They were happy when ski season started so that they could practice skiing. Whenever Jim and Barry are not working they are skiing and learning how to become instructors. Jim has been watching some educational ski videos so that he would be prepared for the next lessons that they have to take. Both Jim and Barry want to get into search and rescue when they get more experience. They need to learn a lot before they can go out to areas that have had avalanches. They are learning all the safety requirements for ski areas.
