Temperatures are cool, colors are vibrant and snow is visible in the higher mountains. It’s time to start tuning up your sleds, skis, boards, snowshoes and checking your avalanche gear to be certain it is in working order.
This is also a good time to get signed up for our Level 1 Avalanche class offerings and to check out the other programs available in our area. Our Education and Events page has the most up-to-date listing of scheduled classes and we are adding more as the season approaches.
It looks like another epic winter is on the way so get ready!
