The Central Division is proud to support a trust established in honor of a very special friend, patroller, and mentor, the late Dan Somalski. Dan, as many of us know, dedicated much of his 25-year patrol career to helping others attain their goals both on and off of the mountain. As a long-time Certified Patroller (#426) and PSIA Alpine level 3 instructor, he was legendary both inside and outside of the handles. It is in memory of Dan’s example that the trust was created to ease the burden of a patroller’s credentialing costs while encouraging advancement.
