Avalanche Safety

Watch: WYSAW Videos Are Now Up! Plus a Photo Gallery from the Event

Did you miss WYSAW? Videos from every presentation are now available to watch right here on our site. We know that schedules can be tough, but we believe this year’s WYSAW was one of the best ever. Each presentation was delivered with the utmost professionalism and has something to offer for everyone—no matter your experience level. We hope you can join us next year for the 10th Annual in October 2024.

A huge thanks to all the incredible speakers who offered their deep perspectives and immense knowledge on how we can all stay safe and be better backcountry users. You can still access the digital program to learn more about each speaker, our awesome sponsors, and why WYSAW is such a valuable event for our community.

Thanks for Attending WYSAW! Got questions post event? We have answers.

Thank you to everyone who attended the 9th Annual Wyoming Snow & Avalanche Workshop. This event would not have been possible without all of our incredible speakers, sponsors, the entire crew at The Center for the Arts, the TCSAR Foundation and volunteers, the WYSAW steering committee, and all of you.

Be on the lookout for a post-event survey that includes a sweet discount code from Stio exclusive to WYSAW attendees.

Every presentation was recorded and will be edited and posted to our website within two weeks.

WYSAW is just the first step in continuing our collective efforts to learn how to be safe in the backcountry. Check in with our winter programming at Backcountry Zero, enroll in an avalanche class, and talk to your ski partners about their plans to do the same.
