Description

Do you find yourself wanting more knowledge about weather models and forecasts to plan your trips?
…Then this evening is for you

Nobody is an expert when it comes to Mother Nature but having a solid understanding of weather models can be very helpful to anyone venturing into the mountains

This is a very basic information sharing evening, and we will try to keep topics brief rather than get too complicated and advanced so please keep that in mind
