Avalanche Clinic: Avalanche Myths & Facts presented by Alpine World Ascents

Avalanches are a common and spectacular occurrence in the snowy mountains. In their physical beauty, they hide a brutal truth. There are as many myths about avalanches as there are snowflakes. These misperceptions about avalanches can have dire consequences: Every year, people get hurt or die in the Winter backcountry due to avalanches. Learn about common mistakes and how they might be avoided. For more information about Alpine World Ascents visit their website at www.alpineworldascents.com

Randonee Ski Racing:
Ski Mountaineering
presented by Bryan Wickenhauser

Come join Bryan Wickenhauser, member of the 2008 US Ski Mountaineering Team, for an evening of video, slides, and discussion about the randonee ski racing scene in Colorado, the US and Europe. Ski mountaineering (rando racing) combines the aerobic endurance of skinning up hill with the technical skills of big mountain ski descents. Colorado is home to one of the most active racing series in the country, the COSMIC Ski Mountaineering Cup. In addition to video coverage of the big Euro races, Bryan will share experience with the training, the gear and how to get involved in the local racing scene.
