The women of the Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows ski patrol have created scholarships for avalanche safety education through the Sierra Avalanche Center.

The calendar proceeds, which exceeded $20,000, will support community scholarships and patrol educational development for multiple years.
 
Applications for the scholarships are open now on the Sierra Avalanche Center website and available for Level 1 Avalanche Courses (separate courses for women and teens/young adults), Pro Level 1 Course and an Instructor Training Course. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and courses will be taught throughout the 2018 winter.

The calendar, which was shot over the 2015-16 season, showcased the 13 female patrollers from the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski patrol teams and featured photography by Keoki Flagg.
