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.

We know how busy schedules can be. We also appreciate the enormous pull of being outside during one of the last beautiful weekends in October. So it’s understandable if you missed the Wyoming Snow & Avalanche Workshop, which drew an attendance of more than 350 people to the Center for the Arts on October 18-19.

And that’s why we record each and every presentation during the event.

We're happy to announce that the videos are now up online.  Each video is edited into individual presentations, and can be found on our WYSAW page, YouTube, and Vimeo.

With fresh snow on the ground, catching up on WYSAW is an appropriate kickoff to a safe and fun winter in the Tetons. 

We are also including a killer photo gallery from the event. All photos below by Zach Montes from Orijin Media. Images may not be used or reproduced without permission.
