Northwest Snow and Avalanche Summit, Nov. 8, 2008

I received a private message asking if the snow and avalanche summit is intended for snow safety professionals only.

It is intended for everybody. The more the merrier!

Registration is just $25, so the cost is not prohibitive. If the organizers are out there reading this, you should make sure that the announcements clarify that the event is for the whole backcountry community, not just the pros.

The Epiphany School can be reached with ease from Capitol Hill and with difficulty from the Arboretum. Best to get on 23rd Ave E. or the parallel MLK Jr. Way, turn east on Union St, and then left (north) on 34th, then right on Howell St. to the Epitphany School at 3710 E. Howell.
