Finding the right partners can be the difference between a safe, fun day in the backcountry and one that goes sideways.For our final event in the Avalanche Education Series, we’re tackling the human side of avalanche safety. Decades of research show that people, not just snow conditions, are the primary factor in backcountry incidents and success. That’s why we’re teaming up with SlabLab for an interactive evening designed to help you connect with potential partners in a structured, meaningful way.
This isn’t a sit-back-and-listen lecture. Think of it as “speed dating for the backcountry”—you’ll cycle through short, focused conversations with other attendees to talk about skill levels, experience, and what kind of adventures you’re looking for. Along the way, you’ll pick up language and tools for evaluating partners and forming stronger, safer teams.
Everyone who attends will also receive a temporary membership to SlabLab’s partner-finding network, giving you an easy, private way to reconnect with people you meet without having to share personal contact info.
Doors open at 6pm. Give yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot and grab beer and snacks before the formal presentation begins at 6:30pm.
There will be a HUGE raffle benefitting a local non-profit. Raffle prizes include swag from Orotovox, Tahoe Mountain School, Smartwool, Dynafit, Salewa, PT Revolution, Alpenglow Expeditions, Black Diamond, Blackbird Guides, Flylow, Slab Lab, Skratch, LMNT, Skida, Rab, Julbo
