#tbt from this past year working as NWAC Observer for Hurricane Ridge; 14 years ago sharing some of the best ski times in #LaGrave; and back to 45 years ago when I had little idea that skiing was going to be my life’s elixir. Cheers to learning life and the marriage of work and play!

If you’ve taken your Avi 1, but are hesitant or debated why, check out the link in our bio for some #wednesdaywisdom on why you might want to consider it! ⛷ @pierotly heading down the beauty that is the Lake Basin Chutes at @crystalmountain. • #avalanchesafety #sendandreturn @backcountryaccess #bcag #womenwhocrushwednesday #backcountryski #skitour

#techtiptuesday -The best part of the fall season? Planning out the winter! Tools of choice: guidebooks. Our favorite areas to go annually are Snoqualmie Pass, Mount Baker, Whistler, Rogers Pass, combined with Ikon Pass, Epic Mountain Collective, or Indy Ski Pass for planning out our trips. Books and hiring guides can offer a wealth of information and ease the anxiety of committing to bigger plans like hut trips, Japan, Austria, and even British Columbia. Trips like a BC hut trip generally require an advanced level of avalanche knowledge in the party to book the hut, hiring a guide is great insurance to find the goods! ⛷ Richard Weight drops into (and a knee) into the remaining hours of our long week at @boulderhutadventures! Check out the Hut trip and Level 2 classes in our bio. • Pic @trucallen #avalanchesafety #skibc #sendandreturn #huttrip #ohcanada @backcountryaccess #bcag #skitouring @beaconguidebooks

#tbt Do you remember your first Avalanche Course? Your first kit? Have you upgraded your gear or added to your knowledge of snow science? We want to hear about your experience(s)! 🗻 A series of photos from our past avalanche courses, West and East side!

#techtiptuesday : Hopefully you have stored your skins in a dry, cool place, with a skin saver sheet. Key things to check, look at the tail kit, are there cracks around any of the adjustment holes? Is the rubber dry or stiff? If any of this is present, replace it. If you can use a G3 tail, the metal clip stays on better and is less likely to come out since it does not stretch the material. Next, check the glue, is it patchy, clumpy or smooth and evenly distributed. If patchy get some new glue from Black Diamond or consider investing in a new pair. ⛰ Touring out to another perfect day at the Ptarmigan area with our crew out on the Boulder Hut Trip (only a couple spaces left)!

#throwbackthursday to February 2017, arguably the best season we’ve had this decade so far. One of the deepest days out in our favorite areas in the Snoqualmie Pass backyard. Sign up for the Snoqualmie tours through our website ❄️ ⛷ @andysovick samples some of the best snow he could’ve imagined on a brief visit to the PNW.
