This is an opportunity for Summit County skiers, snowboarders, and other mountain travelers to learn Dean’s approach to staying safer in the mountains and avoiding avalanches through practical terrain management. Dean has refined the Steep Life Protocols during his last 24 years of guiding in the Chugach Range of Alaska, Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Wasatch Range of Utah, and Andes Mountains of South America, and pioneering thousands of first descents in mountains all over the world. Steep Life Protocols empowers skiers and snowboarders of all abilities to elevate their skills to a higher level and take control of their destinies in mountain environments. We look forward to seeing you for an evening of celebrating The Steep Life, learning protocols for staying safer while doing what we love, and meeting other mountain enthusiasts! Dean Cummings’ Steep Life Protocols is grounded on practical terrain management for skiers, snowboarders, and other mountain travelers who travel in avalanche terrain. Dean teaches and illustrates through his knowledge, experiences, and entertaining anecdotes. Topic include: • On-the-go snow assessment from the top down • Constant visual-verbal communication with partners • Developing group-team emphasis • Skiing/riding safe zone to safe zone until totally clear of potential avalanche paths • Skiing/riding ridgelines, apexes and high points • Avoiding convex/concave terrain, chutes and gullies, unsupported slopes, and steeps to flats • 3 strikes methodology - identify potential avalanche warning signs and decide when to move to safer locations or call it off and head to the bar.
