For the 2020/2021 season the standard AIARE Level 1 Avalanche Course is a hybrid 3-Day course designed specifically for Splitboarders which combines virtual E-Learning, Zoom sessions, and field instruction to introduce participants to the hazards of traveling in avalanche terrain. Traveling in the backcountry requires a solid understanding of avalanche risk and the knowledge to mitigate these risks through appropriate terrain assessment and decision making. Our AIARE certified leaders and instructors will teach you how to recognize, manage, and minimize these hazards and reduce risks.
Students must be familiar with their touring setups and able to ride at a steep blue or black level on resort. If you are not yet at this level then please check out our 1-Day Intro to Splitboarding Courses!
