Updated 11/10/20-- more classes will be added as announced. See full list on the 'Know Before You Go' section.

There's quite a few options to choose from this year for avalanche education in our area!

The AIARE/AAA Level 1 course is a 3 day/24 hour introduction to avalanche hazard management. Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).

NIC Outdoor Pursuits just got approved to offer their Avalanche Awareness class. Registration closes soon! This is a great way to get a start on your avalanche education if you are brand new to backcountry. They provide avalanche equipment and have rentals available for ski or splitboard equipment. Check it out here.

Does anyone know of any Level 2 Avi courses being offered this year (hopefully before the end of the season) or more advanced classes? I checked with Missoula Avalanche and it seems like they do not have any on the books yet...
