TCSAR and Backcountry Zero will take part in a couple of new events from February 21-23 as part of our mission to build education and awareness among backcountry users of all ages:

The Jackson Hole Ski Club has a new backcountry group that will come by the TCSAR hangar for a tour and workshop early Thursday evening. The group has just finished working through Level 1 avalanche curriculum and will get an intro to advanced backcountry skills. Learn more at the Ski Club's backcountry page.

Mountain X is a new Parks and Rec after-school program for 3rd-5th graders. The goal is to give kids exposure to advanced mountain skills, learning from local experts and going beyond a normal ski lesson. TCSAR will teach a workshop this Friday on emergency shelter building at the base of Snow King Mountain. More info at Parks and Rec.

Teton SplitFest is "a gathering of like-minded splitboarders to help create a safe community in the backcountry." This weekend, the itinerary includes a clinic from Jackson Hole Mountain Guides and gear demos. Backcountry Zero will be on hand to present on risk management and team building with your touring partners. More info at Teton SplitFest.
