The fair features presentations by experts in high-altitude medicine, expeditions, winter climbing and weather/avalanche safety, which will help you prepare for winter recreation in the mountains.
• 10:45 – Acute Mountain Sickness & Hypothermia by Dr. Skeet Glatterer, MD. Dr. Glatterer is a cardiothoracic surgeon and Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine and has been a member of Alpine Rescue Team since 2005. He has served as an expedition physician for climbing companies on guided climbs to Russia, Africa, Nepal and Alaska.

• 1:15 – Tips for Winter Climbing Fourteeners and Other Backcountry Adventures, by Alpine member Dale Atkins.
Dale is a veteran of more than 40 years of mountain rescue, ski patrolling and avalanche science and is an internationally recognized avalanche expert.

Coop has been a weather and avalanche forecaster in the CAIC's Boulder office since 2015.
• 3:45 – Flight for Life of Colorado’s live helicopter landing and tour. See what the inside of the helicopter that Alpine uses for medical patient evacuations, “avalanche deployments” and “lift ticket” shuttling of rescuers look like and talk to the flight crew.
More than a dozen great items will be raffled off, including Sterling climbing ropes, Spyderco knives, MountainSmith packs, an REI tent, Echo Mountain lift tickets and EarthTreks day passes.
Meet “Tuuli” and her handler Paula Bindrich, A Search and Rescue Dogs of Colorado-certified search dog team.
Meet Brad & Melissa McQueen, authors of “Exposed: Tragedy and Triumph in Mountain Climbing,” their story of survival, and rescue by Alpine, in 2001, when they and Brad’s father were stranded overnight on Mount Evans during a freak late-spring blizzard.
