The Friends of the Avalanche Center has purchased the weather station on Flanders Mountain to ensure its continued use. As most of you know, weather in Hyalite can be dramatically different than in town. So check out the link near the bottom of the page before you head out to hike, ski or climb ice.
And don't forget to thank the FAC for making this all possible. You can do that by showing up at the Friends of the Avalanche Center's Annual Powderblast fundraiser - Friday, October 22nd in the Emerson ballroom. Tickets will be available soon at Northern Lights. Music, food and beer - almost as good as the skiing in Hyalite!
Kit Des Lauriers joins The North Face and Northern Lights at The Emerson to present the story of her journey through the Brooks Range of Alaska, towing sleds through polar bear country and skiing some of the most impressive peaks in Alaska.
OR join us for a special meet and greet with Kit, complete with beer, wine and light food. This VIP Party begins at 6pm in the Weaver Room at the Emerson and includes a preferred seat at the show. Tickets for the VIP Party are $20 and 100% of the proceeds support the Hans Saari Memorial Fund. Click here for tickets.
