The San Juan Snowcast

Season 3, Episode 15 || Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024 || Season’s Recap and an Avalanche Survival Story

Chris Dickson Season 3 Episode 15

Well folks, this is the final episode of the 2023-2024 winter season! On this week’s episode, I reflect on this past winter and provide a seasonal snowfall history and a recap of this year’s avalanche statistics. But the heart of this episode is a conversation I have with Ryan and Isaiah about an avalanche that happened on King Solomon Mountain, outside of Silverton, just about one year ago last Spring. We dive deep into what happened, how they dealt with it, and these guys graciously share the major takeaways they had from the incident. It’s a long story, but totally worth the listen! 

Have a great Summer, folks. I’ll see you again next Winter! 

And until next time… THINK SNOW!
