Join us for our AIARE Avalanche Level 1 course, designed to make avalanche education accessible to all modes of travel. Our snowshoe-specific avalanche course is tailored for climbers and hikers eager to learn how to safely navigate the mountains in winter. This comprehensive program covers key topics like snowpack analysis, route finding, hazard assessment, companion rescue, and more. Taught by some of the most experienced guides and instructors in the industry, this course will empower participants with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions in snowy terrain. Whether you're an experienced backcountry traveler or new to winter adventures, this course provides essential skills to mitigate risks and enjoy the mountains responsibly.

This is a Hybrid style course. There is a 6 hour online learning that you must complete prior to the course start date. The evening before your course you will have a mandatory 2 hour zoom call. In this zoom call we will discuss our objectives for the course, answer any questions, give a lesson in tour planning, and examine the local weather and avalanche forecasts. Days 2 and 3 are in the field where we will be putting our knowledge to the test and learning to recreate safely in avalanche terrain.
