Volcano Season - Spring Art Show Opening - May 9th - 5-9pm

This new art show opening features a must-see collection celebrating our local volcanoes. You’ll feel a love for these perfect forms beyond the exotic sensations of climbing and skiing these magnificent peaks. This very special set of visual experiences is usually reserved exclusively for the volcano climber. In this show, Scott Rinckenberger brings it to you; giant domes, multi-layered landscapes and simultaneously remarkable symmetry, yet wildly individual panoramas and peaks that will leave you breathless.

More about the show:

If you ask a perfectly sane person when ski season ends, you’ll get answers ranging from mid-March to early May. If you ask a backcountry skiing addict like Scott Rinckenberger, well, you’ll get a different answer entirely. See, as soon as ski season ends in the resorts and local mountain passes, a second season has just begun. It can happen on any high peaks with glaciers or permanent snowfields, but here in the great state of Washington, we are blessed with a plethora of mountains that were perfectly designed for this second season. 

Here, we have volcanoes.

For a few months each year, these epic mountains open themselves up to those seeking an extended ski season, and who are willing to put in the work. 

Around here, we call it Volcano Season.
