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.
