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!

Avalanche Accidents in the Winter of 2008-09

19 Snowmobilers Killed; 26 Deaths in Canada

Many people want to know… what happened.
Why was the news filled with so many reports of snowmobile avalanche fatalities?
Hind sight is always 20/20. Looking back were there signs or actions that could have helped to avoid or reduce the extent of these accidents?

  • What made the snowpack so weak?
  • Will it happen again?
  • What can you do to prepare?

Special opportunity:
Profit from a professional avalanche forecaster’s expertise to discover the range of choices we have available each and every day, in each and every riding area
  • Analyze sled slopes and hill-climb routes to GO BIG AND GO HOME
  • Review video clips of snowmobile triggered slopes and big terrain

Hear from families and survivors connected to a deadly avalanche in the documentary produced by Snowmobiler TV
– The SPARWOOD MEMORIAL TRIBUTE
