To provide the public with winter riding, snowmobiling, and avalanche info in the area near our store, we've compiled a list of important avalanche and winter weather resources below.

Avalanche.org - Interactive map of the western US showing current avalanche conditions and forecasts as well as information on avalanche classes, bulletins, and other resources.

Please attend our annual Free to the public avalanche awareness class!

We offer a Free avalanche awareness class each year in October taught by the one and only Mike Duffy of Avalanche1! Bring your riding buddies and bring your beacon/transceiver if you have one. This is always a great course for anyone going into the backcountry this winter. Class starts at 6 and usually takes about 3 hours. This class takes place in the parts department and is usually always near the beginning of October. Please contact Matt or Brandon with any questions at 208-356-4000. We also usually have one or two more classes, one usually during our Snow Expo near the end of October. Check our Facebook page or check back here for dates and times.
