SAS has completed operations for the season. This is always such a bittersweet moment for us all @avyschool. The nation’s oldest, continuously operating snow safety & avalanche education program keeps growing stronger and this season was surely one of our best. A heartfelt appreciation goes out to all our students, faculty, staff and alumni. Onward to 64 years in winter 2026! @american_avalanche_association @knowthesnowfund @cradavalancherescue @kmacguides @mountaintrip @climb_imcs @icar_alpine_rescue @amga1979 @safeback.avalanche.gear @venturesnow @friendsofcaic @mammutna @skidoo @backcountryaccess @visitsilverton (fb)

Exploring consequential terrain while pioneering 21st century technology; We are riding in fascinating times! Breathing machines for Avalanche burials? Rocket packs that’ll blast us outta a slide? And does that cliff bar wrapper still interfere with the transceiver in our pocket? Backcountry rescue technology abounds and separating current fact from futuristic fiction is often difficult to parse. Where we’ve been, where we are now and we’re will we head next? Overjoyed to discuss the good, the bad and the outrageous at the 12th Annual @silvertonsplitfest with @venturesnow Always a fantastic capstone to our winter! #splitfest #splitboarding #splitboardingistheanswer #welcometothedera (fb)
