Bambara Benefits Utah Avalanche Center
Posted By Ted Scheffler on December 3, 2011, 3:14 PM
The daily three-course lunch special, which
costs $13, includes a choice of organic greens or cup of the daily soup
selection, one of three entree selections, and one of Chef Powers’ special house-made
warm, gooey, chocolate-chip cookie packaged to go or to eat in. Entree
selections include: Powers' house-ground 9 oz. burger with bread-and-butter
pickles, slowly grilled onions, horseradish creme fraiche and cheddar cheese;
his smoked turkey wrap with smoky bacon, dill havarti cheese, sundried
cranberry jam, herbed potato chips; or Powers' special of the day.
"I love Utah for the unsurpassed mountain
recreation here. As residents and business operators, I think it’s important
that we give back and support the organizations that help us to enjoy the
luxuries of winter sports safely and being aware of the surrounding activities,” said
Chef Powers. “The Utah Avalanche Center is integral to our safety as it
provides critical avalanche and mountain-weather information to help people
make life-and-death decisions in the backcountry. Their goal has been to keep
people on top of the Greatest Snow on Earth instead of being buried beneath
it."
Part of Utah Avalanche Center's mission is to
help educate the public. Its "Know Before You Go" avalanche-education programs are focused on basic avalanche education for junior high- through college-age students in Utah. Just like students in Hawaii learn about
the dangers of rip tides and shore breaks at an early age, students in Utah
need to learn about avalanches. The rising numbers of young avalanche victims
have demonstrated an obvious need for basic avalanche education.
The Utah Avalanche Center is funded partly by
local and federal government sources and partly by donations from businesses,
foundations and individuals. The organization is located at 2242 W. North
Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 524-5304, Advisory Hotline: (888)
999-4019.
