Dear,

Michel has arrived yesterday by 20:00 with Dave. He will pass the Snow School on Tuesday-Wednesday. This morning we had a meeting at Crary with Rich and Michel to discuss the recovery preparation. Rich will start collecting the additional items we need from BFC etc. (see the list I attached), based on the CREAM-II (and III?) recovery Field gear list I made together with Tina last time I was doing the recovery. We will make a final list when more accurate information on the termination/recovery site and conditions will be available. Tomorrow we will meet at 7:30 (at Crary) for another meeting with Dave and Rich (Michel Matt, and me), and then will go to the Willy to work on recovery tools and gear (priority ordering, packing, weighing and tagging).
Sasha
Happy New Year!

He is already scheduled for the full Snow School next week and for the High Altitude lecture. Dwayne and most of his team has left McMurdo early this morning. They should be on their way to Christchurch right now. Henry and Mike are also on this flight.
