25th Annual Avy Night Helps Support TCSAR and BTAC

The 25th Annual Skinny Skis Avy Night takes place this Thursday, December 5, at the Center for the Arts. One of our community's best winter gatherings, Avy Night runs from 5:30-9 p.m. Attendance is free with a suggested donation at the door supporting Teton County Search & Rescue. We will have some tables set up in the upstairs lobby to help answer your questions, sell some TCSAR merch, and help you find your way into the venue for the show.

During the event, TCSAR Foundation’s Maddie Johnson will be presenting about some cool events and programming you can expect this winter from Backcountry Zero.

Presented by the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center Foundation and Skinny Skis, the event is a must-attend for local winter enthusiasts.

Featuring a panel of first-person avalanche accounts, a keynote presentation by Jamie Weeks, and a stacked raffle, Avy Night is your chance to celebrate our community’s incredible backcountry culture, refresh your decision-making skills, & maybe even win some great new swag.
