**Registration Has Closed For This Event**
As part of our Winter Recreation Series, The Bronze Chapter and Northwest Avalanche Center instructor Tammy VuPham will take you on a BIPOC-centered hands-on snowshoe at Snoqualmie Pass to discover and discuss snow, terrain, observation, mountain environment, what makes snow slide downwards, and how to identify risk and space places. You’ll tap into your powers of observation and gain confidence in being able to identify and assess risk. Another extremely valuable part of this clinic is you’ll be exposed to tools of safety and rescue: beacon, shovel, probe.
This beginner – intermediate clinic is geared toward those who participate in any snow activity (walking, snowshoeing, skiing, boarding, camping, etc.). This snowshoe will be between 5-7 miles round trip with a total elevation gain of no more than 1500 feet. Snow awareness saves lives. See you on March 25th!
