INTRODUCTION TO AVALANCHE SAFETY (1-Day)
2023_24 DATES TBD
IF YOU HAVE A GROUP OF 4-6 PLEASE CALL AND WE CAN ADD A COURSE
This course is suited for riders who frequent avalanche terrain with others, but who don’t typically bother to discuss the avalanche concerns due to the familiarity of the terrain they are in. Don’t be complacent! In this course, you’ll learn how to identify avalanche terrain, how to use local and regional resources to make decisions about where and when to ride, the importance of trip planning, how to spot ‘red flags’ as well as an introduction to companion rescue and related gear. This course has some inside and some outside time. Participants must come prepared to travel on machines in the backcountry. A beacon, shovel, and probe
are required or available for rent for an additional $25.00.
