Regardless
if you are ski touring, snow shoeing, ice climbing or snow mobiling, you should
take the time to educate yourself about avalanche hazard.
After all, it's for
your safety! Please note that some of our avalanche course dates connect nicely
with some of our ice climbing and ski
touring weeks and courses.
We offer both, the 2 day level 1 (16 hrs) as well as the 4 day level
2 (28 hrs) Avalanche Safety Course (AST 1 & 2) following the
standards set by the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA). All graduates
will receive a CAA diploma after completion.
The
AST course format focuses on avalanche hazard recognition and avoidance
and it is meant to give the recreationalist tools for his / her
own decision making in the planning phase as well as in the field.
The courses are also prerequisites for the CAA level 1 and 2 Forecasting
courses, which are meant to prepare for careers in the snow safety
industry (ski patrol, forecasting, guiding.....) and focus more
on detailed snow pit work, recording standards and forecasting tools.
