The San Juan Snowcast
The San Juan Snowcast is a podcast all about snow, avalanches, and backcountry skiing in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado. Stay up-to-date on what's going on in the sky and on the ground this winter by tuning in!
The San Juans are notorious for having one of the most dangerous snowpacks in North America, as well as some of the most incredible backcountry skiing in the state of Colorado. The Snowcast aims to help local backcountry skiers and riders make safer decisions by sharing current conditions reports, avalanche incident debriefs, and backcountry educational nuggets.

Season 2, Episode 9 || Wednesday, January 11th, 2023 || Surviving and Saving: The Story of a Recent Avalanche Burial
If you or someone you know has experienced a traumatic incident, or is struggling with grief, please reach out to someone for help. Survivors of Outdoor Adventures and Recovery has a great website with some resources to check out: http://soar4life.org/ .
In this episode, I provide an update on the last two weeks of snow and avalanche activity, before diving into a debrief of a full burial avalanche incident that happened recently in our mountains. It’s powerful to learn from incidents and like these and I’m grateful to these folks for being willing to share their story.
