Here is a little sumary of what will be covered in the avy class.

Acronyms are all over the place in the email below: FOAC - Friends of the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center. AIARE - American Institute of Avalanche Research and Education.

Here is a short description of what will be covered:

FOAC - AIARE AVALANCHE AWARENESS
The FOAC - AIARE Avalanche Awareness Program is offered as a public service to communities, schools and outdoor clubs. Program length is 1-2 hours. Specific programs are in place for middle and high schools, motorized (snowmobile) users, non-motorized (skier, snowboarder, snowshoer) and mixed user groups.
The course is expected to:
• Introduce and explain to students where and why avalanches occur.
• Describe who gets caught and why.
• Provide a basic approach to staying safe in the backcountry.
This course targets the young and unaware backcountry traveler, and introduces the recognition of avalanche danger and how to reduce the risk.
Student Learning Outcomes
• Learn to access local avalanche bulletins and weather reports.
• Recognize basic signs of avalanche danger.
• Learn to avoid avalanche danger.
• Understand the need for companion rescue techniques and equipment.
The course utilizes interactive presentation materials and local case histories and encourages questions from the audience. Participants that are more than casual users of the backcountry are encouraged to take a multiple day avalanche course.

Yep it is coming again, Thanks Remko and I-90 for sponsoring again this year, on February 9th we will be having the Sno-Jammers Annual Fun Run at the Government Meadows Cabin. The fun starts @ 10 AM with the last hand being sold @ 1 PM and Prizes and Raffles starting @ 2 PM. Head up Hwy 410 through Greenwater and take a left on Forest Road 70 then follow the signs you can’t miss us! Practice with your avalanche beacon beforehand, it may come in handy if you decide to take the Beacon Challenge; the fastest time on the course will win a prize. Many of our club members and friends will be camping in the Snow Park on Friday night, come on up and join us at the camp fire! Mark your calendar now for a day of food, fun and prizes!
