On the tenth day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… so many coats!
It’s a cooooold day in Wyoming (20 below zero this morning in Jackson), so make sure you dress appropriately. During such frigid temps, even minor injuries in the backcountry can turn life-threatening without proper planning and preparation. So shove an extra coat—or three—in your pack today, and watch for frostbite on any exposed skin.
Or better yet, stay inside and make cookies.
On the ninth day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… a good decision.
To eat the cow pie, or not eat the cow pie? To ski avalanche terrain, or not ski avalanche terrain? Sometimes, it can be hard to know what to do. Cow pies may at first appear delicious, but you never know what lurks inside. Same with our current snowpack.
What TCSAR volunteers know is: Play it safe, make the good decision, and do not eat the cow pie—or ski in avalanche terrain today.

On the eighth day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… perspective.
TCSAR volunteers always stress the importance of being prepared, practiced and present in the backcountry. But they also understand that sometimes, people will face plant—that everyone makes mistakes, no matter how skilled or experienced. Perspective is yet one more reason why the volunteers are able to respond with humility and compassion for those who need their help.
