The San Juan Snowcast

Season 3, Episode 5 || Thursday, January 4th, 2024 || Alpine Conditions + Coulie Huntin’ with Maddie Crowell

Chris Dickson Season 3 Episode 6

Happy New Year! On this week’s show we discuss the current State of the Snowpack and how it will hopefully change soon, highlight some local events in the Community Calendar, and then sit down for a chat with Maddie Crowell, local ski guide, avalanche educator, and couloir hunter. Maddie gives us an update on the variability of snow conditions above treeline and why the couloirs of the San Juans make for some excellent ski mountaineering.
