Dave Garcia on Having and Having Not Loads of Info

If you were looking to move somewhere because you love to ski, Moab, Utah likely wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of that list. Dave Garcia loves to ski. It’s why he came to Utah in 2002. He spent 12 seasons skiing the Wasatch, then he moved to Moab, and not for the snow. But the thing is, there’s actually some pretty good skiing in the mountains that loom over the deserts of southeastern Utah—if you know how to manage the hazards. These days, Garcia forecasts for Avalanche Center office in Moab, and he joins us to talk about the challenges, and the rewards of moving from a resource- and input-rich environment to one where the info is sparse and terrain is immense and remote.
