A big raffle with over $4,000 in prizes will be held on Saturday to raise money for TCSAR. Full details here at Backcountry mag.
TCSAR and Backcountry Zero will take part in a couple of new events from February 21-23 as part of our mission to build education and awareness among backcountry users of all ages:
The Jackson Hole Ski Club has a new backcountry group that will come by the TCSAR hangar for a tour and workshop early Thursday evening. The group has just finished working through Level 1 avalanche curriculum and will get an intro to advanced backcountry skills. Learn more at the Ski Club's backcountry page.
Mountain X is a new Parks and Rec after-school program for 3rd-5th graders. The goal is to give kids exposure to advanced mountain skills, learning from local experts and going beyond a normal ski lesson. TCSAR will teach a workshop this Friday on emergency shelter building at the base of Snow King Mountain. More info at Parks and Rec.
Teton SplitFest is "a gathering of like-minded splitboarders to help create a safe community in the backcountry." This weekend, the itinerary includes a clinic from Jackson Hole Mountain Guides and gear demos. Backcountry Zero will be on hand to present on risk management and team building with your touring partners. More info at Teton SplitFest.
Come party in your loose boots in support of Teton County Search and Rescue. Winter Bash, sponsored by Roadhouse Brewing Co. and Stio, is a fun night featuring ski films, raffle prizes, and beer to help TCSAR volunteers save lives in the backcountry.
Winter Bash will take place on February 20 from 7-10 p.m. at the Roadhouse Pub and Eatery on the Jackson Town Square and $1 for every Loose Boots beer sold will go to TCSAR.
The raffle will be held at 9 p.m. and participants don’t need to be present to win, except for the grand prize. Raffle prizes will be offered from event co-sponsor Stio, Snow King Mountain, Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort, Atomic Skis, Mammut, Shred Optics, Gregory Packs, and many more.
