Show Notes

Hello everyone and welcome to the last show of 2021! We’ve had some EPIC snowfall lately and avalanche danger has spiked to High for several days this past week. On this week’s show, we dive into how what all this new snow is doing to our snowpack, take a quick look at the recent avalanche incidents happening across our zone, and share some upcoming events happening in our community. And then, we dive into this week’s avalanche education nugget of the week: an analogy for how to think about the risks associated with the different hazard ratings that make up the North American Danger Scale. 

Music on the show is from Juanitos and the Budos Band. Hey, if you like what you’re hearing, share the pod with your touring partners. And, if you wanna help spread the word in other ways, I’m making stickers! Shoot me an email at sanjuansnowcast@gmail.com if you’d like a few stickers to throw on your skis, your local stop signs, or wherever! 

Also, I’m still doing this just for the fun of it, but it does cost me to host and produce the show. I ain’t gonna beg, but if you’re in the “end-of-the-year-charitable-giving-mood”, you can find me on Venmo at @Chris-Dickson. 

Thanks for listening and… THINK SNOW!
