A sponsorship between the Nickolay Dodov Foundation and Alpine County Tobacco Prevention Program enables tobacco prevention education to reach youth at the same time they are learning how to stay safe skiing and snowboarding. Avalanche education and tobacco education have a shared goal to arm youth with knowledge they need to make their own decisions. We start every event with a short Non-smoking video message.
