Additionally, we have a great lineup of our traditional hybrid courses, including 2 full field days at Anthony Lakes and Salt Creek Summit.

All the money generated from these courses goes into the WAC General Fund to pay for Avalanche Forecasting, website and weather station maintenance and more. You get a great course and support your local non-profit avalanche center. If you have any questions please get in touch with Development Director Rex Stanley at rex@wallowaavalanchecenter.org
