SheJumps Avalanche Awareness Evening in Bend, OR

SheJumps is excited to offer an avalanche awareness evening for women, taught by local backcountry skier and avalanche educator Alli Miles! This is a great opportunity to begin learning about avalanche terrain, or brush up on the basics before the next season of backcountry shredding.

Presentation topics will include identification of avalanche terrain, why and how avalanches happen, best practices for travel in avalanche terrain, local and regional resources to use throughout the season, and upcoming opportunities for more in-depth avalanche education in central Oregon this season.
