Rocky Mountaineers Meeting Featuring Steve Karkanen And Avalanche Awareness

The Rocky Mountaineers are sponsoring a program by Steve Karkanen of the West Central Montana Avalanche Center.  Steve will present valuable information about backcountry travel and recreation, winter safety, and avalanche prevention in the mountains, including looking and listening for warning clues, digging test pits, and more.  He also will talk about current conditions and how the season is shaping up.  Winter backcountry enthusiasts should spend a few minutes checking the latest updates before you go out, by calling the Avalanche Center at 406-549-4488 or 800-281-1030, or going to the website missoulaavalanche.org.

The program will be at December 11, at 7 PM, at The Trail Head, and is free and open to all.  Donations are gladly accepted, and there will be refreshments and a chance to hear about upcoming trips.
