The first snowflakes are coming, and weโre kicking off avy season the right way: with Cody Townsend. โ๏ธ
Join us Wednesday, October 21st for the first of three avalanche education nights this year. Cody will talk about the Normalization of Deviance, the way risks that donโt punish us slowly shift our sense of whatโs safe in avalanche terrain. Heโll get into how his own decision-making has changed over the years, from pro skier to big-mountain backcountry traveler, and share hard-earned lessons from The FIFTY/FIFTY+. Then weโll have an open Q&A.
Weโre also joined by David Reichel, Executive Director of the Sierra Avalanche Center, for a backcountry basics refresher. Heโll cover how to plan a good day out, where to find the avalanche forecast, how to actually use it, and what goes into making it every morning.
Doors open at 6:00 PM, so come early, grab a b**r and some snacks, and get a good seat. The presentation starts at 6:30 PM. ๐ Alibi Ale Works | Tahoe Brewery & Brew Pubs Truckee
