Old 804. That was my dorm freshman year. Looks like I'm going to be up there this year. Either one of the houses on Officers circle or Benchmark... don't know which yet.

Most of the PRT S, PRT L classes meet just once, then you have field sessions. Some are fun, some are kind of boring. You get credit, but not a grade, so it doesn't do much for you as far as graduating or GPA. Avalanche workshop (1.5 hrs) is good, if you want a letter grade do the 2 hour avalanche class, but be prepared to take some actual tests and spend time in the classroom.

I've heard good things about Ski mountaineering - it's taught by some cool guys too. I thought Backcountry ski guide was pretty slow and boring. If you're thinking about a rock climbing class skip Rock climbing I, and if you have experience, go straight to Rock climbing III seminar, basically a fun sport climbing trip down south.

Haha there's my academic advice on the non-classes that are offered, I've done my share.

Mountaineering class was a good time, our two teachers knew their shit and the wasatch really well. I recommend taking it.

yeah don't take the ski class, i just wanted to get eome stupid credit, but the teacher suck, hell i was a better skier, and it was suposed to be advanced skiing. plus, i'm biased, since i broke my leg during the class, it was stupid.

if your paying out of state tuition, or even in state, thats a pretty pricey one credit to pay for. why not just buy a seasons pass or two and go to school two or three days a week

yeah the calss isn't worth it. the only reason i took it was cause at the time i was a prt major and needed to take the prt classes like that. i don't really climb or camp that much, but i ski, so i figured it would be an easy allied credit. untill i broke my leg. but yeah you can buy a pass for the same price of tuition

Yeah indoor rockclimbing is sweet, you meet once a week and they teach you shit for the first few weeks, then you just fuck off and climb and have fun.
