MISSION
STATEMENT
It is Avalanche Games desired goal to promote a cultural change within the entire motorized avalanche community, experienced riders, and beginner riders alike. A community with peer awareness and accountability, education, communication, and community involvement. Promoting an openness to start and continue one's own avalanche education journey through positive direct contact and hands-on experiences.
Avalanche Games has created 2 competitions for recreational motorized users. These events allow riders to compete for cash prizes just for showing off and practicing some of the essential avalanche education they voluntarily took. The real win with this event is that it is free to bystanders to watch, with the goal of opening dialogue among peers about the importance of having avalanche education and applying the knowledge.
"An out-of-the-box approach to motorized avalanche awareness, education, and cultural change through a little friendly competition amongst peers."
