WOMEN’s avalanche course

January 10 | 9AM – 4PM

The course is designed specifically for people who are starting or refreshing their avalanche education. This is a great opportunity to prepare for a more in-depth three-day Level 1 course. Students will travel on snow with touring skis, splitboards, or snowshoes.

We’ll start the day by discussing some of the big-ticket concepts of avalanche safety. Learning how to identify avalanche terrain is a critical component of any ski touring trip. We’ll also discuss the 9 types of avalanche problems, and learn about how these problems interact with the terrain.

We will meet at Tamarack Resort’s patrol dome and then head out to a tour location, we’ll spend a couple of hours learning to operate and search with avalanche beacons, practice probing and digging skills and then do a mock rescue putting it all together. After that, we’ll do a short tour, and practice identifying avalanche terrain, measuring slope angles. The day will finish with a short ski down back to the base area of the resort.
