Avalanche Awareness Night

The backcountry is calling—but are you prepared for the risks that come with winter adventure? Whether you ski, snowboard, snowmobile, or fatbike, Avalanche Awareness Night is an essential event for all who explore avalanche prone terrain.

Why This Event Matters:

✅ Knowledge Saves Lives – Every year, avalanches claim lives, often due to lack of education and preparedness. Understanding avalanche terrain, snowpack conditions, and rescue techniques can make the difference between life and death.

✅ Learn from the Experts – Get firsthand knowledge from avalanche forecasters, professional rescuers, and SAR teams who have been on the front lines of real-life rescues. They’ll share critical insights on risk assessment, beacon use, emergency response, and decision-making in the mountains.

✅ Hands-On Safety Skills – Gain practical skills in beacon searches, probe techniques, and proper use of avalanche safety gear. Knowing what to do in an emergency—and practicing it before you need it—is key to surviving an avalanche.

✅ Stay Updated on Local Conditions – Snowpack and avalanche risks change every season. Learn about current conditions, forecast interpretation, and essential resources to stay informed before heading into the mountains.

✅ Protect Yourself & Your Partners – Backcountry safety is a shared responsibility. Equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to look out for yourself and those you adventure with. A well-informed group is a safer group.

✅ Build a Safer Backcountry Community – When more people understand avalanche safety, everyone benefits. This event is an opportunity to connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, share experiences, and strengthen the local backcountry community.
