Buena Vista Mountain Adventures Presents:
DECISION MAKING IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN, DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR SNOWSHOERS

Do you want to snowshoe in or near avalanche terrain? This class is for students who use snowshoes to travel on snow. AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management. Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).

-
Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain
