I've been one of the instructors for this class for the past 15 years. I thought there might be some interest here.
Here are the basics from the AMC Narragansett chapter newsletter:

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Thanks.:)

Tinker, sorry to take detour on your thread..but how long have you been an instructor for the Narragansett chapter?

As mentioned, I grew up in Rhody and lived there until 1999. I took a map and compass class in 1996 or 1997 with the AMC. Our field exercise was at Arcadia using maps with 10' contour lines! The terrain may not have been the toughest..but those basic lessons have helped me A LOT in my outdoor 'career'.

Who knows..we may have met/seen each other not realize it. :)

Back to the thread...

(The ski class sounds like a lot of fun BTW!)
