Info:
The Beacon Clinic is designed for all ability levels to get out on the snow and practice using your beacon. Even if you spend every day in the backcountry or are just starting out knowing how to use your beacon is the most important skill to have when it comes to avalanche rescue.
This is a great opportunity to learn from female avalanche professionals either the basics of beacon usage or advanced search skills. Evelyn Lees from the Utah Avalanche Center and many great volunteers will be available to help you through the process! Expect to be just mostly walking around outside in the snow, so you don't necessarily have to wear your ski boots/snowboard boots, although if you have an Alta pass and are interested in being in one of the more advanced groups, it is encouraged to bring your equipment.
This is a free clinic, but if you will please go to http://utahavalanchecenter.org/womens_free_beacon_clinic to register so we know how many ladies to expect.
As always we appreciate your donations to keep programs like this alive! Any donations will go to SheJumps, The Utah Avalanche Center and Alta Community Enrichment (ACE).
