“I firmly believe that we are all better off if we spend time in the mountains – and NWAC’s main function is to provide our community foundational tools to get them outside in the snow. Problem solving to better equip all of us in the PNW, in the everchanging backcountry space, is what keeps me interested.”
Scott Schell, NWAC Executive Director
