Next Saturday, Nov 8, is the Northwest Snow & Avalanche Snow Summit here in Seattle. The full-day event is filled with talks and stories about avalanche awareness, ski touring in the Cascades, and such topics as “Decision Making in High-Risk Environments”. Martin Volken from Pro Guiding Service is just one of the speakers, so the caliber of talks is pretty high.
Following the summit is the Friends of NWAC’s annual Snowbash fundraiser at the Tractor Tavern.
You can buy tickets online for both:

Avalanche awareness is becoming more and more important as skiers head out in the “slackcountry” in droves. Don’t wait; be proactive and get some avalanche practice.
