“Every year, more work is needed to train avalanche dog teams, educate the public, and provide safer and faster response times,” said the Backcountry Bow Wow Committee. “Sadly, since 2019, 12 people have been killed in avalanches in Utah. Many of these accidents occur in the Wasatch Range and directly impact members of our community. With the bountiful amounts of snow received this year, WBR needs our help now more than ever.”
