At 4:30pm on October 20th, Jackie Paaso will give an avalanche awareness talk at The Gem to anyone interested in attending. The program is free and open to the public. Jackie is the co-founder of SAFE AS Clinics and Safe on Snow Clinics, avalanche clinics held in the US and Europe. She is presenting on behalf of the BRASS Foundation. BRASS  stands for Bryce and Ronnie Athlete Snow Safety. The foundation was organized to honor Bryce Astle and Ronnie Berlack, two promising development-level ski racers on the US Ski Team, who were killed in an avalanche while training in Soelden, Austria, in January 2015. Following the talk, Jackie will have beacons that participants can check out and she will be available to answer questions.

This event is FREE and open to the public.
