Buena Vista Mountain Adventures Presents:

DECISION MAKING IN AVALANCHE TERRAIN, DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR SNOWSHOERS

March 22-24, 2024

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).

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the AIARE 1 course, the student should be able to:

• Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain

• Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain

• Effectively use The AIARE Risk Management Framework to make terrain choices in a group setting

• Demonstrate effective companion rescue
