Description

Join us down at Lone Pine Gear Exchange at 7:30 PM for a Fireside Chat with UAC Forecaster Drew Hardesty. Drew's talk, On the Nature of Forecasting will look at the philosophy of forecasting and offer tips for not just forecasters but for backcountry users reading an avalanche forecast. Drew began his career as an avalanche forecaster in 1999 and is often described as a story-teller at the forecast center, infusing his forecasts with haiku, metaphor, and allegory. You'll often find him referencing the Book of Job, Cormac McCarthy, the whale hunter Herman Melville, the dry-fly fisherman Norman Maclean, the French aviator Antoine de St. Exúpery, and Bashō. Our friends at Lone Pine will be doing FREE avalanche airbag canister refills, so be sure to swing by before the event and drop yours off.
