[CRYOLIST] Colorado Snow and Avalanche Workshop October 1

Dear Cryolisters,

The Colorado Snow and Avalanche Workshop (CSAW) is a one-day meeting targeting people who work in avalanche safety. This year CSAW will kick off the 2016 International Snow Science Workshop in Breckenridge, CO. Because the two meetings are during the same week, CSAW will be a little different than previous years. We hope it will provide an opportunity for people to interact with some of talented researchers and practitioners that attend ISSW, in a venue much smaller and for a cost much less than the week-long meeting. 


Doors open at 8:00 AM and discussions run until 4:00 PM with a break for lunch. The afternoon session will be followed by a FREE Happy Hour sponsored by Backcountry Access.
