Sweepstakes set up to raise funds for avalanche safety
To raise money for avalanche awareness and education initiatives around North America, the Avalanche Alliance has announced a massive sweepstakes capped by two grand prize riding trips with snowmobile legends Carl Kuster and Matt Entz, a Marlon sled deck, and gear packages from Klim and BCA.
Proceeds from these sweepstakes will be awarded to avalanche centers in support of motorized-focused programs, Avalanche Alliance scholarship programs, and ambassador training and community education initiatives.
The Avalanche Alliance says its sixth annual sweepstakes is another significant step toward safety for the motorized snowsport community, with brands and riders joining together for the common goal of reducing avalanche fatalities.
“Avalanche centers are a key link in the connection between the snowmobiling community and the goal of reducing the impact of avalanches and avalanche accidents,” says Jeff Hambelton, AIARE motorized program manager and NWAC staff member. “With these sweepstakes, we can support avalanche centers’ efforts to build better tools for the motorized community.”
