In the third installment of our monthly Slabs ‘n Sluff series, hosts Sara Boilen and Dom Baker sit down for a dynamic conversation covering the themes of building community through shared experiences, mentorship, decision-making, and loss. They discuss highlights from podcast episodes from November and look ahead to upcoming episodes in December. The conversation highlights the significance of building connections & supporting one another, especially in light of recent losses in the avalanche community.

Hear from voices in our community as they prepare for the upcoming winter season and highlight takeaways from attending fall snow & avalanche workshops.

Sara and Dom discuss preseason training for professionals and recreationalists and have a question for you: What does your preseason training look like? How do you prepare for a fun and safe season of shredding? What skills do you brush up on every season before the snow stacks up? Call our voicemail line at 541-406-0221!
