Winter Backcountry Travel Class 
The WAC Winter Backcountry class, for snowshoers, telemark skiers, randonee skiers, and splitboarders, is designed to teach people how to safely enjoy the winter playground that the Cascades become once blanketed with fluffy stuff. We'll cover avalanche safety, basic travel techniques, navigation, winter camping, and how to stay safe and have fun while doing all that. Classroom sessions will be held on 3 Tuesday nights in February; weekend outings will span 3 weekends in February and March. Please visit http://www.wacweb.org/Classes/backcountryclass/default.view

The WAC is on Facebook!
