Announcement
Include or link to the announcement for this event.
Please save your weekend
for an Avalanche Safety course!
We're still waiting on confirmation of details, but we think the course will likely run on the weekend of January 13-14.
The final dates will be distributed when they are confirmed.
Do you venture out of bounds, off the trails or into the backcountry? An AST 1 is your place to start. You don't need any experience to take this course. It is a must for everyone recreating or travelling in the near or far backcountry. Everyone in your travel group should have this course.
This is the course where you'll learn how to recognize avalanche terrain and how to self rescue. The course is two days with both classroom and field components. What you will learn in an AST 1:
- avalanche formation and release
- identify avalanche terrain
- the basics of trip planning
- optimal use of tools and resources like the avalanche forecasts to mitigate your avalanche risk
- use appropriate travel techniques in avalanche terrain
- intro to companion rescue
Members of PCSAR and the CRG will have their course fees paid, but a $50 deposit is required to hold your spot and will be refunded if you complete the course.
