Want to learn more about snowpack, snow science, safety in the backcountry, and more? Whether you're a seasoned backcountry skier or totally new, a resort or backcountry skier, hiker, ice climber, cross-country skier, or none of the above, new to the region or a longtime local, these chats will have excellent information for you. 

February's Backcountry Chat features our annual Close Calls Forum: your chance to hear from several locals on incidents that happened to them around the Telluride backcountry. Localized, personalized, and thoughtful, this evening will leave you with truly revelatory information.

Telluride Backcountry Chats are brought to you by the Peter Inglis Avalanche Education Fund, the Telluride Mountain Club, Mountain Trip, Telluride Mountain Guides, San Juan Outdoor Adventures, and Telluride Helitrax.
