6th Annual Beacon Bash at Winter Park

Engearment with Sean Sewell

6th Annual Beacon Bash at Winter Park

In this episode of the Engearment Podcast, I give the history of the Beacon Bash - starting with Will Coleman's vision and the might of Wade Lancaster to create the incredibly helpful fundraising event. Now in our 6th year - we are formally a non profit (501C3) and are operating on an even higher level with the help of Sean Eno and Weston, Justin Ibarra and Scott Mahoney of Colorado Adventure Guides and Rhema Ward of Women Who Splitboard and Sean Sewell of Engearment.

Working directly with Winter Park Ski Resort to create a very approachable, free event, aimed at educating how an Avy beacon, probe and shovel work, while also allowing advanced backcountry users the opportunities to hone their skills in several beacon parks (operated by Friends of Berthoud Pass, Ortovox and BCA).

With a full on raffle of epic proportions to raise money for Friends of Colorado Avalanche Information Center, Friends of Berthoud Pass, Grand Country Search and Rescue and the Winter Park Dog Rescue Team. We have several Splitboards from Arbor, Weston and Venture. Clothing from Arcteryx. Goggles from Zeal. Education packages from CAG. Ski racks from Yakima. Backpacks from Gregory. And dozens more prizes you can win. All money going to the non profits.
