We buried six avalanche beacons on the mountain. You have until 1:30 PM on Sunday, March 14 to find them!

After registering, you will ll be emailed a treasure map with clues for where to search. When you locate a beacon, look for a nearby tree marked with a letter of the alphabet. Find all the letters, the password is revealed, and you’re entered to win fun prizes from Eaglecrest, Nugget Alaskan Outfitter, & Foggy Mountain Shop.

It’s only $10, though you may consider a larger donation. The course is not timed. Complete it over the weekend or in a couple of hours. All ages. Must have your own beacon and probe to participate.
