Avalanche course

The Avalanche course teaches individuals how to recognize, assess, and mitigate avalanche risks in mountainous terrain. Participants learn about snowpack stability, weather factors, and terrain features that contribute to avalanches. The course includes both classroom instruction and practical field exercises to develop decision-making skills, proper use of safety equipment like beacons, shovels, and probes, and understanding of rescue techniques. The goal is to equip backcountry travelers with the knowledge to prevent avalanches and respond effectively if one occurs, enhancing safety while enjoying winter outdoor activities.
