Technical Training 2008
June 2-6, 2008 & June 9-13, 2008

Sugar Bowl Ski Resort
Norden, CA

After the success of the past two years, we are excited to offer a new advanced level course this time around. Advanced Ropeway Mechatronics RoMec III will be offered along with the established Introductory RoMec I and Intermediate RoMec II courses. All offerings will be five-day, forty-hour intensive training courses limited to 24 attendees per class.

Sierra College Professors accompanied by industry experts will teach a curriculum based in Ropeway Mechatronics, a study of principles, components, symbology, and troubleshooting of electrical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and machine control systems as they relate to passenger ropeways. The courses will be approximately 25% lecture and discussions and 75% hands-on experience.

The cost per student is $945 and includes lunch each day. For those attendees requiring lodging, Sugar Bowl is offering a special Bed and Breakfast package. The courses will conclude with a Friday afternoon celebration and an address by a leader in the industry.

The CSIA will be selecting two to four master level technicians to attend the program at a discounted rate to prepare to become Trainers for future technical training courses. We are looking for people with the technical experience, commitment and leadership skills to contribute to the success of our RoMec courses. Please contact CSIA if you or a member of your staff is interested!

Registration is open to all resorts on a first-come, first-served basis, with an early application option of CSIA members. Get those applications in early! We expect all classes to fill up, and due to the limited number of attendees, we may not be able to accommodate all applicants.

This promises to be an outstanding training program.  We look forward to your attendance!
