Wild Bear is hosting a FREE climate change workshop (in-person or webinar options available) this Sunday from 1:00-2:30 PM.

 A brief description: We will explore the history and role of snow in the mountainous west, its relationship to weather, climate, elevation, and its effect on surrounding and downstream ecosystems and societies. We explore downstream water rights, the culture and politics of the ski industry in response to snow, and the current and publicly-sourced conservation initiatives meant to halt the changing snowpack. We will come together over gained insight and appreciation for our mountains and our seasonal snow; more than just a force of life, but a source of life.

About the presenter: Kate Hale is a PhD candidate in CU-Boulder’s Geography Department and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, studying snow hydrology with the Mountain Hydrology Lab group.
