Join us for a free technical skills clinic at Uphill Pursuits. This clinic will focus on decision-making tools for moving in avalanche terrain. As the weather warms in the springtime, and the snowpack generally strengthens, many of us start stepping out into bigger terrain than we ski in mid-winter. This year especially, with an exceptionally thin and weak early-season snowpack, the decision to step out into avalanche terrain is one that will require close attention to detail and observation, and require a high level of intra-group communication, risk management, and decision-making.

We’ll introduce some of the frameworks that we use as guides to help streamline our decision-making, interpret information, and communicate with our group. Whether you’re just starting your backcountry skiing/riding journey, or have been touring for years, this clinic will give you some tools and techniques for traveling in avalanche terrain with informed decisions.

This clinic is free for all participants. If you find these programs valuable, please consider becoming an MMA Member, or making a recurring donation to the MMA program. Your support helps keep these programs running.
