The San Juan Snowcast

Season 3, Episode 4 || Friday, December 22nd, 2023 || State of the (shallow) Snowpack + Telluride’s Backcountry Radio Program

Chris Dickson Season 3 Episode 5

Happy Winter Solstice! 

In this episode, we lament our slow start to the season, and the shallow and weak snowpack… but then see a glimmer of hope in the form of a Santa Slammer Holiday Snowstorm that arrives on Saturday! The main focus of this episode, however, is RADIOS. We’ll talk about the new channels for the Telluride Radio Program, and I’ll share some tips for proper radio etiquette so we can all level up our backcountry radio game. THE CHANNELS HAVE CHANGED. Make sure you and your partners know about it and use the new channels if you play in the Telluride backcountry. Thanks for your help in getting the word out.

Happy Holidays and THINK SNOW!
