Service Description

Avalanche Skills Training 1 is designed to give you all of the tools that you need to begin the never ending learning process of recreating safely in Avalanche terrain. This course consists of a six hour online learning course and two full days spent in Glacier National Park or Revelstoke's Backcountry. Most operators only have one hands on field day in their AST 1 Courses. We are offering two field days to get you better prepared for a season of backcountry skiing plus a six hour online course to be done at your own pace. If you are new to Backcountry Skiing or simply want to dust the cobwebs off of your Avalanche knowledge and Safety Skills at the beginning of the winter then this is the course for you. Avalanche theory, understanding Avalanche Forecasts, Snow stability tests, and Companion Rescue techniques are all covered in this course. ​ Most courses will be held in Glacier National Park in between Revelstoke and Golden, BC.
