Winter is at our doorstep. Let’s get ready for it - together. State of the Snowpack and Kootenay Backcountry Guides, with support from White Grizzly, ROAM and UpTown Sports Bar, are inviting the local backcountry community to join together to kick off the 2026-27 winter season for a afternoon dedicated to backcountry community, preparedness, education and connection.
