Geology Day at the Kees and Claire Hut with Nick Zentner

We are thrilled to host Nick Zentner for a day of learning about the geological environment of the Whistler backcountry! This educational day will feature a talk at the hut and a hands-on field walk in the stunning alpine terrain surrounding the hut.

Nick is a professor at Central Washington University, host of the PBS Show "Nick on the Rocks", and prodigious YouTube educator. Nick has been the recipient of numerous national level awards for education, including the James Shea Award. Check out Nick's YouTube page here.
