Joe Philpott and Peter Carver Avalanche Scholarship

Joe Philpott and Peter Carver Avalanche Scholarship Two Durango families lost loved ones to avalanches in 2013. To honor their memory, we have set up a scholarship fund for avalanche education for all ages.

The Philpott and Carver families formed this scholarship in honor of two adept backcountry enthusiasts, Joe and Peter, whom were both lost to avalanches in 2013. The scholarship provides tuition assistant for an accredited Level 1 Avalanche Course. The course will look at how to make decisions in the backcountry, offer hands-on avalanche safety, study snow conditions, and rescue basics. Qualified

recipients will demonstrate commitment to their backcountry education and to the community. Recipients of the scholarship will be expected to be an active member of Friends of the San Juans (FOSJ), including volunteering at events such as fundraisers, classes, ski swaps, highway clean-up, etc. For more information please visit our website at www.knowthesnowfund.org
