The industry standard introductory course, our AIARE(American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education) Level One Avalanche Courses are unique because of our comfy yurt classroom and our emphasis on field based lessons and learning. In this 24 hour curriculum, students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person.

Save money, time, energy, and fuel by joining one of our courses and enjoy relaxing next to the fire each night in our cozy bunk house instead of fighting traffic. Includes the full AIARE Level I certification course, lodging in our Yurt at 5000', the Cat ride in and out, AIARE curriculum and field book, and a cat run conditions permitting. We often save time for extra touring in the evenings. This course is designed for all types of backcountry travelers, snowshoers, backcountry skiers, snowboarders, and mountaineers.
