Summary of the avalanche awareness course

We begin the day with a briefing where we look at safety equipment. We also review avalanche and weather forecasts to better understand the snow conditions and avalanche risk.

This day is fun, educational and involves a lot of skiing using terrain to explain decision making, avalanche avoidance (always a good thing) and group safety in avalanche terrain as well as transceiver training and what to do in an avalanche incident.

Avalanche awareness course – is it for me?

Whether you board or ski off piste, having some experienced, professional avalanche training is a no-brainer. Learn and be safer. Remember if you are riding out of bounds all your party MUST have avalanche transceivers, shovels and probes and know how to use them.
