Safety & Awareness Weekend
March 15 - March 16
Join the SilverStar Ski Patrol for a Safety & Awareness Weekend! Learn about avalanches, tree wells, and ways to stay safe while skiing/boarding in resort, off piste, and in the backcountry.
The SilverStar Ski Patrol team will have an info booth set up in the village outside The Red Antler from 9:00am to 2:30pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Stop by and ask to see a demonstration about probing, shoveling and/or RECCO® technology.
