Know before you go. Following the American Avalanche Association guidelines, this clinic is an introduction to avalanche safety. We’ll look at avalanche safety through the lens of terrain, weather, snowpack, and human factors. Learn how to find and interpret weather forecasts and avalanche advisory information and identify strategies for decision-making and risk management. We’ll also discuss equipment for winter travel. This is an excellent first step on the journey into the backcountry.
Avalanche rescue concepts will be introduced in this clinic, but not practiced. To learn avalanche rescue skills and gain hands-on practice with an avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe, check out our one-day Avalanche Rescue Course.
