Join SheJumps and Stio at Pine Mountain Sports for a "Know Before You Go" avalanche awareness presentation.We're back by popular demand! Please join SheJumps for a Know Before You Go Avalanche Awareness event led by women and for women (and girls)!
In partnership with Pine Mountain Sports and Stio, we will be hosting this event at Pine Mountain Sports. As the community of women spending time in the backcountry grows every year, we want to make sure you know how to travel safely in avalanche terrain. Whether you’re on a splitboard, ski, nordic or snowshoe set-up, it is important that you know how to travel safely in the backcountry.
We will provide information about what avalanches are, how they are triggered and how to travel in avalanche terrain. We will also describe all the necessary gear to carry and generally how to use it as well as provide resources for steps you can take to further your avalanche education. We will also walk through a report of the current avalanche conditions in our area.
This event is open to anyone looking for a first-time introduction to avalanches or interested in refreshing your knowledge. We specifically welcome all women and girls (transgender and cisgender) as well as non-binary people to experience a female-led conversation. Avalanches don't just happen to extreme athletes - they can happen to those skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowbiking, snowshoeing, hiking, driving, hunting, ice climbing, shoveling under a roofline (roof-alanches!), and more - anyone who can get onto or underneath steep snow-covered slopes.
Join us to become more aware about the dangers of avalanches, learn about helpful resources, and make a plan for becoming more educated.
