On the twelfth day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… joy to the world.

Like volunteer Keegan Pfeil on his snowmobile. TCSAR volunteers know why people want to get out in the backcountry, because they do it too! As we head into this holiday season, Keegan offers these words of wisdom to get the most joy out of your adventures:

“One of the biggest challenges with sledding vs skiing is how quickly you travel through terrain. One minute you could be at 7,500 feet on a north aspect and minutes later you are at 10,000 feet. You have to constantly be looking at and analyzing the terrain far ahead of you. Communicate, plan ahead, study the terrain, know the avalanche forecast, and you can have a great day out there.”

From all of us at the TCSAR family, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
