Tune in for a great evening of live storytelling from ISSW 2026. Sara and Dom brought the Slabs 'n Sluff vibe to the Whistler audience and were joined by an amazing crew 8 of professionals from the snow and avalanche community. The theme of ISSW is “A Merging of Theory and Practice” so we let our storytellers loose with a request to “tell us a 5-7min story of a time when theory met practice in your career.”
The stories:
Erich Peitzsch - “Mistakes were made but we continued learning…Right?!”
Erin Talor - “When practice precedes their: turning an unexpected situation into a learning opportunity”
Chris Kaipio - “The memory factor and risk taking.”
Helene Steiner - “Retreat!”
Jordy Shepherd - “To heliski or not to heliski: managing a significant buried persistent weak layer while running a relatively new heli-ski operation.”
Eeva Latosua - “There must be a rule for this.”
Drew Hardesty - “Backcountry avalanche forecasting: from theory to practice.”
Penny Goddard - “When theory doesn’t explain practice.”
