New Employee: CSAS has had a new seasonal employee for the last year. Phil Straub, is a Prescott College graduate and soon to get his M.S. degree with a dust-on-snow related thesis. He also teaches avalanche courses for Prescott and Kachina Peaks Avalanche Center. There may be occasions when Phil will issue a CODOS Update.
