from Salt Lake Snowcast · host Nick McEachern
Send a textThe Snowcast is back this week for an important conversation about uphill travel. Joining me on the show is local guide and avalanche professional Colby Stetson. We'll chat about everything from the etiquette of skin tracks, backcountry travel dos and don'ts, and some common uptracks for accessing Wasatch Classics. Colby and I certainly aren’t the authority on this topic, in fact nobody is, but what we tried to do in this episode is discuss some standards, expectations, and like with any episode of the Salt Lake Snowcast, encourage some critical thinking. I’m always open to hearing from listeners, so don’t be shy!If you'd like to support the show, consider becoming a member via buymeacoffee.com/saltlakesnowcast.
