Introduction to Avalanches Presentation

Join the Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center for a 90 minute presentation based on the Know Before You Go platform, introducing basic concepts about snow, avalanches, and traveling safely in and near avalanche terrain. Learn from the Friends of SAC instructor team of snow experts, mountain guides, and experienced avalanche educators. We invite everyone to join if you’re learning about avalanches for the first time or are a seasoned backcountry user ready for a yearly refresher. No registration is needed for the presentation.

This event will be in person but will also be live-streamed! You can find a link to the Livestream on the Library’s website: https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/13408048

In addition to the presentation, The Friends also put on Introduction to Avalanche Field Days. You must attend the entire presentation to attend a field session.
You can pre-register for an optional field session ($50 suggested donation) here:
