Northwest Avy Center
The inaugural Snowball Dinner and Auction to support Northwest Weather & Avalanche Center (NWAC) is less than two weeks away…Friday, April 10! Please join us at the Ballard Elks Club on Shilshole Bay in Seattle and show your support for a service we all rely on to plan trips and stay safe in the mountains.
NWAC’s budget is threatened next year with a projected shortfall of over $100,000 at this time. Your support is more important than ever. And besides, what better way to spend a Fri evening than sharing stories with 200+ other backcountry skiers and riders, enjoying dinner and drinks with friends, and going home with a selection of over 100 great auction items?
Tables are filling up…less than 50 tickets left! So buy yours before it is too late. We have to plan dinners so we won’t be selling tickets at the door.
