JACKSON, Wyo. — Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation is excited to announce that the 11th Annual Wyoming Snow & Avalanche Workshop is set for November 14-15 at the Center for the Arts in downtown Jackson.

A stellar lineup of speakers will help backcountry users of all levels brush off the summer dirt as we head into another Wyoming winter. Topics include everything from:

  1. A Denali ranger walking through stress management tools in avalanche terrain.
  2. University of Utah doctors showcasing new post-avalanche resuscitation techniques using a burial simulator.
  3. Top avalanche educators defining the process of building your own avalanche forecast; what the motorized community can teach all winter enthusiasts
  4. University professors sharing groundbreaking research on fatal avalanche incidents. Plus, what local backcountry users can learn from last winter’s accidents in the Jackson Hole area.

One of the most exciting additions this year is the inaugural Lunch & Learn sessions to be held on Nov. 15, where smaller groups focus on specific skills and discussions to gain practical takeaways about backcountry safety. Choose between a deep dive into wilderness medicine, an overview of digital mapping tools, a panel with your favorite industry professionals, and a field session on tactical techniques to avoid, manage and study avalanche terrain. Or, of course, you can opt out and eat your free Pica’s burrito with friends on the lawn.

Friday, Nov. 14: Pro Day is tailored to professionals in the field of snow and avalanche safety. ($10)

Saturday, Nov. 15: Rec Day is intended for all backcountry users. ($35)

Attend both days for just $40.
