Participate in our 2023/24 research on communication

What we aim to learn

Building on our learnings from the 2022-23 season, this winter we are studying what enables people to feel like they can speak up on their teams. What does good communication look like on a backcountry team and how can teams get better at it?

The ask of participants

We're asking participants in this study to do three things:

• A 30 minute introductory call with us. On this call you'll choose 1-3 small new things to try on your next tour.
• Go on a backcountry tour or ride and try the new behaviors
• A 30 minute follow up call, to see how it went

Your time means

• Contribute to a new report and resources that we will share with publicly and freely with the community on improving the safety and performance of backcountry teams
• $25 to say thank you for your time

How to sign up

So glad you asked! Just complete this short form and we'll be in touch via email.
