Due to the pandemic, most of our typical chances to get together as a snow community have disrupted. That doesn’t mean we have to stay inside. Safe and conservative recreation, good backcountry decision making, and avalanche education continue! The Alaska Avalanche School wants to showcase positivity, safety, snow, and stoke in the backcountry community again this year with our second backcountry photo contest!
All proceeds support the school and you could win one of many rad prizes!
How it works:
This is a fundraiser! $5 donation per entry or $20 for up to 5 submissions. You can submit as many entries as you want at that fee structure!
Pictures have to be from Alaska and taken this past year.
Categories:
-Best Stuck – Motorized
-Best Up Track- Non-Motorized
-Best in Show/ Best Overall – all modes
