Salt Lake Snowcast
This is a weekly podcast released in time for the weekend commute to your favorite Wasatch skin tracks. It is a place for information sharing about current backcountry observations and discussing hot topics with our backcountry ski and splitboard community.
Salt Lake Snowcast
What's in your Pack? with Zack Little
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Salt Lake Snowcast!
On today’s episode, we’ll start by looking at historical data for the Wasatch to see how nervous we really need to be about our low tide conditions. After that, Zack Little is back on the show to talk about first aid, communication, and preparedness for backcountry skiing. We've spent some time covering what happens when things go wrong, so I wanted to make sure we also did an episode about how to prevent things from going wrong in the first place.

First Aid
If you're interested in taking a Wilderness First Aid class, there are many providers in the Salt Lake area. I'd encourage you to search around a little bit and see what works for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Repair Kits
This Winter, the Salt Lake Snowcast plans to sell some premade backcountry repair kits. I'll update y'all once they are available.
