Subjects covered include recent developments in snow stability tests, time lapse photography of avalanche terrain, as well as a play by play review of the 2015/2016 winter season.

It’s also a time to remember that winter is on the way, get excited about getting outside and, most importantly, remember we need to be safe and educated when traveling the backcountry. We need to come home to our families and enjoy season upon season of future winter endeavors.”
