your winter backcountry ski excursions. We're excited to welcome our first expert, Jen Godbout, to talk about Expedition Planning and Fuelling! Talk Description Multi-day ski expeditions are complicated and your food and logistics can make or break your time in the mountains. Fly in basecamps require different strategies from roving basecaps and from traverses. Too much food weighs you down but not enough leaves you underpowered. Join Jen for an evening discussion on optimizing for expeditions. About Jen Jennifer Godbout (she/her) is known to many by her nickname Jibber. Is a backcountry split board guide, Search and Rescue member, and CAA avalanche educator based out of Whistler, BC. Transitioning from snowboard competitor, to coach, to CSGA guide seemed like a natural progression to avoid any chance of working indoors. Jen enjoys being of service in her community and mentoring the next generation of snow scientists and big mountain riders.

You know Jason from our snowpack discussion evenings but tonight he will be flying solo to give you a deep dive into weather forecasting and the tools he uses to help build a mountain weather forecast. This is for the folks that are already pouring over weather tools and maps. Maybe you know there’s different models out there but don’t quite know how to choose one or the other. About Jason Jason is a meteorologist based in Squamish, BC.

Today, he provides custom-tailored forecasts for a private weather company that supports aviation weather services across North America.
