4th Annual Colorado Backcountry Avalanche Workshop

This is not an official Los Alamos Mountaineers event, but it is being posted as a general interest item for our club members.

Date and Time: Thursday, March 2, 5:30 - 9:00 PM MST

This event is available for online viewing for a nominal $5 fee.

Friends of CAIC and the CAIC are excited to bring you the 4th Annual Colorado Backcountry Avalanche Workshop (COBAW) presented by Colorado Mountain School and sponsored by RAB, Hestra, and Fat Tire.

COBAW is not an awareness clinic. It is aimed at more experienced backcountry users who want to dig deeper and continue their education.

Electronic Interference and Avalanche Transceivers: Fact, Fiction, and the 20/50 Rule - Bruce Edgerly (Edge), CoFounder of Backcountry Access

Dynamic forecast zones: Our experience so far and a look into the future - Ethan Greene, Director CAIC

Avalanches and whumpfs, the similarities and differences in the trigger mechanics and patterns throughout the winter - Ron Simenhois, Colorado Avalanche Information Center
