Lowell_Skoog Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) The on-line publicity for this event has been spotty, so I'm giving the organizers a hand. The second annual Northwest Snow and Avalanche Summit (NSAS) will be held November 8 at the Epiphany School in Seattle. The Epiphany School 3710 East Howell Seattle, WA 98122 NSAS is a professional development seminar for avalanche workers and a continuing education opportunity for recreationits. The event is open to everybody, limited to the first 250 registered participants.
