Backcountry Safety Awareness Week: Get the Training

Each day, December 14th -18th, a series of short videos developed by community leaders, like Sierra Avalanche Center, will provide detailed information on specific backcountry topics and avalanche education opportunities. 

Tuesday, 12/15/20  GET THE GEAR

Yes. Traveling in the backcountry requires a unique set of safety equipment. In this section, you’ll get an overview of why you need this gear, what you need, and where to learn how to use it.

Also featured in this section are etiquette tips from Tahoe Backcountry Alliance and Alpenglow Expeditions. These tips are essential to know so that everyone can have the back experience possible in the backcountry.

This will lead up to a live Q& A panel with professional athletes on Thursday, December 17 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm.

Check out the schedule and complete the registration on the event website to sign up for the Athlete Summit, including some of the business's biggest names.
