An event is for those who share a curious fascination with snow and avalanches. 

Join professional guides, ski patrollers and winter backcountry enthusiasts for an evening of learning and connection to kick off the winter. Super El Niño or not, it’s a good excuse to get together and talk snow before the season starts!
