Join the director of Outdoor Recreation at Sonoma State and experienced Mountain traveler Ryan Hammes as he will teach the basics of snow chemistry and travel.  We’ll examine the gear necessary to test snow pack and learn tips for traveling in snow environments as well as how to plan ahead and prepare in case an avalanche should occur.  This will be an outstanding opportunity to learn from an experienced individual and valuable information for skiers, boarders, mountaineers or those that just enjoy playing in the snow!
