Cross-posting from the main forum for Tahoe area skiers/riders....

Support local avalanche information and forecasting while you ski Kirkwood half-price on Sunday, Jan 22. Buy a $31 ticket, and the proceeds go to the Sierra Avalanche Center to help pay for a full-time avy forecaster for the Tahoe region. It's a great cause, and every dollar counts.

Tickets are available in Tahoe City and Truckee at The Backcountry, in Reno at REI and the Patagonia Outlet, in South Lake and Meyers at Sports LTD, and in Incline at Village Ski Loft and Porters.

Kirkwood will also be offering a day-long backcountry safety clinic and beacon clinics at 10am and 2pm (at the BCA Beacon Basin).

Check out www.sierraavalanchecenter.org for more info.
