Avalanche awareness lecture seriesSince 1968, The North Face has encouraged outdoor enthusiasts to "Never Stop Exploring".
Remote zones have epic potential. But they can also be dangerous. Their mission has been to provide insight on how to push the limits without exceeding your boundaries. No matter your level or ability, knowledge is the best tool for crossing the line.
Aimed primarily at skiers and snowboarders the lecture will introduce key concepts such as snowpack layering and avalanche formation, how to recognise avalanche terrain, signs of unstable snow, human factors and safe travel techniques. Perfect for the first-timer or those wishing to enhance or refresh their backcountry knowledge.
There will be an opportunity to win spot prizes of The North Face® equipment at each lecture and an overall series prize draw to win £500 of The North Face® clothing or equipment from Snow+Rock.
The lectures will be delivered by James Morland, a Canadian Avalanche Association Level 2 professional with over 15 years experience of avalanche related work. He is the founder of Elemental Adventure (EA Heliskiing) and has skied extensively in many exciting locations around the world.
