Our Avalanche Skills Training (AST) course, offered through our Big Mountain Centre, is an excellent resource for those interested in winter backcountry recreation who haven't been formally trained about avalanche hazards.

The program is offered every second weekend throughout the ski season for only $195 per person. The AST course focuses on avalanche hazard recognition and avoidance to help participants with their own decision making in the field. It is also a prerequisite for the CAA level 1 course.

The AST course is scheduled on the following weekends during the winter of 2011/2012.

This 2 day course covers avalanche terrain recognition and avoidance, companion rescue, and how to use the Avaluator, a decision support tool.  All courses are taught by professional members of the Canadian Avalanche Association and have an instructor to student ratio of 8:1.

Additional courses are available upon request. Reservations are required, call  250.439.5467 for more details.
