I’ve seen them at the base of the Grind in the summer. They were handing out whistles and answering questions, giving info, tips, etc. This one will have an avalanche and snow safety focus, but to be honest I’m not sure what their demos involve. I scoured their website and didn’t find much detail other than they will be out Grouse on that day. I actually pulled most of the info from a Van Sun article.
