“Thanks so much for a great day playing AVALANCHE! the game. This program serves more than just teaching about using the right equipment in the backcountry. It teaches that you can go out and have as much fun as you want as long as you are aware of your surroundings and follow safety protocols. It gives you a confidence to go outside and really live with your surroundings.”
