Avalanche Awareness Class
Hosted by Alpine Ascents International
Whether you ski, climb, snowshoe, snowboard, or snowmobile, recognizing avalanche danger is an essential and potentially lifesaving skill. This free, introductory class provides a basic approach to managing risk. NWAC instructors will explain how to access avalanche and mountain weather forecasts and recognize basic signs of avalanche danger.
This is a 90-minute, indoor class.
We highly recommend starting with an Avalanche Awareness class prior to taking a 24-hour field-based Level 1 Course.
