We are proud to be part of the Mat-Su Trails and Parks schedule of events and to join the Wasilla Speaker Series for an evening focused on backcountry safety and rider awareness.
Join Mike Buck of Alaska Safe Riders for an informative and engaging conversation on staying safe while snowmachining in the backcountry. This presentation is ideal for new riders as well as experienced riders looking to refresh their knowledge and build confidence when traveling off-trail.
Attendees will gain practical insight into navigating backcountry terrain safely and confidently, with discussion covering:
– Essential safety gear
– Identifying common backcountry hazards
– Emergency response and survival considerations
This is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who value responsible riding and backcountry preparedness.
