Hello everyone, Lori here...
Don't miss this evening! There is much to learn from last season. Take advantage of the opportunity to question a Canadian Avalanche Centre Forecaster. Conditions were crazy out there. Draw the learning out of these incidents to better prepare you and your riding group for this sport we are all passionate about.

If you have avalanche related stories, video clips or photos that you would like to share, please contact us at zacstracs@gmail.com.

I look forward to seeing you there!
