Intro to Backcountry, AIARE 1, & AIARE 2 Avalanche Courses
AIARE 1 is a comprehensive, entry-level avalanche course designed for those with basic ski/snowboard touring experience. There are no other prerequisites, although, if you have never backcountry skied before, you may find it helpful to join an Intro to Backcountry day first. This is a great course to take before heading out into the backcountry. Upon completion of AIARE 1, you can take AIARE 2 to advance decision-making skills in more complex terrain and situations.
Due to COVID-19, the indoor classroom sessions will be moved to online while the 2 day in-person field sessions will be conducted in small groups and socially distanced.
