Snow Dynamics Information

Snow Dynamics offers backcountry avalanche courses and avalanche mapping in the Western Chugach mountains of Alaska . Our goal is to provide quality, high standard avalanche courses to backcountry users and specified projects for interested parties. The three core values we have adopted are: Safety first decision making, a higher standard of avalanche education, and avalanche industry enhancement through information exchange and avalanche research. Sean Dewalt is the owner of Snow Dynamics, and has been since 1997. He became interested in snow science and the avalanche phenomenon after attending a ten day Canadian Avalanche Association C.A.A.T.S. professional program in Whistler, B.C. Canada in 1997. Since then he has studied avalanche safety in Colorado, Washington, Alberta and Alaska. Sean is a firm believer in avalanche education, and his experience in Alaska has rewarded him with diverse work from weather service contracts on the North slope, and heli-guiding in Juneau to State and Federal avalanche contracts. He is one of only a few avalanche specialists to hold a Level 3 avalanche certification.
