Drinks will be available at the event, and all tips from the bar sales will be donated to the CAIC (Colorado Avalanche Information Center) general education and forecasting fund in Andre Hartlief’s name.  Hartlief was a Keystone ski patroller who was killed in an avalanche near Wolf Creek Pass last month.
