Winter is coming. Start the season informed, connected, and ready to make better decisions in the backcountry.

Join us December 10 at The Wildwood Room for TCISAR’s 3rd Annual Avalanche Awareness Night—a free evening of practical education, community connection, and raffle prizes for everyone who travels in avalanche terrain. Whether you ski, snowboard, snowmobile, or explore on foot, come learn from experienced forecasters, rescuers, and avalanche educators—and connect with the people who share your winter playground.

What to Expect

Start the evening at our new Backcountry Partner Village, where local organizations, businesses, and outdoor brands will share resources, gear, and backcountry knowledge. Spend the first hour meeting partners, catching up with friends, and making new connections before the safety program begins.

This year’s program builds on attendee feedback, combining presentations, panels, and short “lightning talks.” Planned topics include:

State of the Snowpack presentation from BTAC
Lessons learned from last season’s avalanches
Snowmobile terrain and route planning
Caring for your backcountry dog this winter

Leave with practical takeaways to help you recognize risk, plan thoughtfully, and make more informed decisions with your partners. Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site.

Free Admission. Great Prizes and MANY chances to win!

Admission is free, and pre-registration through this page includes one free raffle ticket. Additional raffle tickets will be given for every $5 donated (or 5 tickets for $20), with multiple chances to win outdoor gear and other prizes.

Register today and kick off winter with your backcountry community.
