After the Avalanche Division
The After the Avalanche Division came to Mountains to Mountains through Dr. TJ Hartridge. In addition to being a medical doctor, TJ has spent decades as a ski patroller. Through conversations with Paramedics, Doctors, Nurses, EMTs, and other ski patrollers, he saw a clear need for backcountry travelers to have a simple medical resource for taking care of avalanche victims. This was the start of the After the Avalanche project. Today, After the Avalanche as a division of Mountains to Mountains seeks opportunities to teach mountain adventurers what to do in the minutes, days, and months after an avalanche strikes.

What are we up to?
TJ and the After the Avalanche crew spend their winter season seeking out opportunities to meet and teach those who are interested in learning skills for emergency medical response, mental health first aid, and community resilience post slide.
