Avalanche Awareness for Hunters

Join Peter Wadsworth, an instructor with the Alaska Avalanche School, for a free, beginner-friendly presentation on avalanche awareness for hunters.

Peter will introduce where and why avalanches happen, why avalanche hazards matter to hunters, and basic guidelines for reducing exposure in the backcountry. He’ll also share resources for further learning. No prior avalanche knowledge is needed.

The presentation will run approximately 45–60 minutes, with plenty of time afterward for questions and discussion.

Peter Wadsworth has lived and hunted in Alaska for a decade and has skied in avalanche terrain around the world. A lifetime member of both Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) and the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), he is volunteering his time to help fellow hunters stay safer in the backcountry.

Peter is a professional instructor with the Alaska Avalanche School, a nonprofit whose mission is “to provide exceptional experience-based avalanche safety education to all users of the mountain environment.”

As are all of our Pint Nights, this is a casual fun way to meet fellow hunters and anglers, swap stories and learn about BHA and our mission to conserve public lands and waters.

Public Lands Pint Nights are Nationally Presented by ONX HUNT!

The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) is a group of like-minded people with one thing in common: we all enjoy the thrill of hunting over a well trained versatile dog.
