snowshoe & avalanche safety workshop part 2 - January 11, 2020
We will snowshoe to a place where there is sufficient snow and then practice with avalanche safety gear (avalanche beacon, probe and shovel). While snowshoeing, we will discuss the prevention and avoidance of avalanche accidents as well as how to identify safe/high risk routes during travel. The attendance of Part 1 (12/1) is not required to attend Part 2. Please bring snowshoes, micro-spikes, and 10Es. Please bring avalanche safety gear (avalanche beacon, probe and shovel) if you have. You are welcome to join us even if you do not have avalanche safety gear. We will take turns to practice. If you have extra avalanche safety gear or lack avalanche safety gear, please indicate this when you register. Please email before Friday, 6 pm, January 10, for the meeting place and time. WMC members only. Co-organized with Jim Kucera.
