Join us to learn about the 1982 Alpine Meadows avalanche with Jennifer Woodlief!

Woodlief wrote the local favorite, Wall of White, which catalogs the lives and experiences of those who were there for the catastrophic avalanche.

As this winter shapes up, it is a good time to thank ski patrol and remember the danger our friends and neighbors put themselves in to keep us all safe and skiing!
