We’re honored to have Jayne on the podcast to discuss the Resilience Project, which is one of their initiatives that we’re proud to offer support for as a partner.  

Nils and Jayne discuss the current state of snow science and avalanche awareness, and the latest initiatives from the American Avalanche Association. Listen along for endless learning opportunities about avalanche safety and for a killer restaurant recommendation in rural Wyoming.
