To match a catalogue and website redesign we’ve cut a new marketing piece for NOLS that highlights some of our core beliefs and the way students end up benefitting from those values.
Got back to Lander last week after spending most of the summer doing two NOLS courses in Alaska! The first was a 30 day hiking course in the Eastern Alaska Range (my first as an instructor). The second was a 21 day sea kayaking course on Prince William Sound full of Naval Academy Midshipmen (a training block for them) which I tagged along on exclusively to shoot video. I put up a Flickr album of each course, video content to follow in the not-too-distant future, enjoy!
Cut this quicky together for the NOLS in about an hour. Our professional development program was giving a presentation to Shell Oil *shudders* on risk management and basically wanted something to show them how badass we are. Apparently our presentation was followed by one from Ferrari and we blew them out of the water. Cool?
Just got back from a 34 day training course to become an instructor with the NOLS. Here are some photos from the training which took place in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico and Cochise Stronghold in Arizona. First order of business as a new instructor is teaching a hiking course in Alaska!
Brian and I spent three weeks in Arizona shooting for NOLS at both Cochise Stronghold and the Santa Teresa mountains. Here are some stills from the trip. Stay tuned for upcoming releases on www.nols.tv to see the footage we shot.
May, June, and July have been some of the best months I can remember having lived, seriously. It started with a two week trip to Bolivia with Jason, Emily, Forrest & Dad where we visited several major cities and saw much of the Bolivian landscape. Then came a 30 day NOLS course focusing on mountaineering in the North Cascades and rock climbing in Squamish. These spectacular outings were topped off by coming back to Lander for an awesome few weeks of climbing with friends. Check out a video I made about the Annual Climber’s Festival that took place in Lander a couple weeks ago.
I’ve also been getting more excited about Flickr and have posted images from the NOLS course as well as the most recent climbing trip. Bolivia photos coming soon!
