The Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation, the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center, and Central Wyoming College, begins the 8th Annual Wyoming Snow and Avalanche Workshop today. The two-day symposium will be held at the Center for the Arts in downtown Jackson. It will also be accessible virtually.
The event is part of the foundation’s Backcountry Zero initiative, and deals with safety in the backcountry by discussing risk, decision-making, and snow science. WYSAW hopes to educate backcountry users and avoid tragic outcomes. Organizers remind that last winter there were 17 such deaths in the U.S., with seven in the Greater Yellowstone region, including three in the Jackson Hole area.
