Board & Staff

Ray Koleser

Ray Koleser is the current board secretary and has been on the Friend’s board since about 2012. Ray has a great affinity for most things outdoors including water sports, especially if that water is white and frozen. Ray is retired from the Forest Service and enjoys offering his support and staying connected with that agency through the Friends group. He supports the avalanche center because he believes the information, education and forecasting it produces are vital to all backcountry users and help build a safer, more connected, and better community of people getting out in the mountains.
