Splitboard Specific AIARE LEVEL 1 Avalanche Safety
Sponsored by Weston Backcountry. Designed for Splitboarders
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.

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!
