Free Canadian Avalanche Foundation Slide Show and Fundraiser

Free Canadian Avalanche Foundation Slide Show and Fundraiser

Last year we had a very successful silent auction and avalanche film fest. Over 35 people attended and hopefully this year will be even bigger. This is what is planned:

A slide show of the snowmobiling in the Lewis Hills by local photographer Scott Grant who has some excellent images of this backcountry area.

Then the launch of a new web page highlighting the areas of avalanche hazard in the Lewis Hills to the  North Arm Mountains. This should help people plan routes for the Lewis Hills, Blow me down Mtns and North Arm Mtns and want to avoid the main avalanche areas.

This will be followed by a silent auction of avalanche gear and other outdoor clothing plus a night at Marblewood Village and a 2011 Snowmobile Trail pass.

This free event will be held in Room 315 at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 from 7:30 - 9:00 pm. For more information contact Keith Nicol at knicol@swgc.mun.ca
