Avalanche Level 2

• • Price: $729.00 – $849.00
  • Duration: Evening Zoom + 3 Field Days

  For recreational backcountry users who have completed the Avalanche Level 1 course and are ready to go deeper with their snow and avalanche knowledge.

  *All field days are consecutive, course date indicates first day in the field. A mandatory pre-course zoom meeting is held from 6-8pm on the evening before each course start date.

  The Avalanche Level 2 course is designed for backcountry recreationists with level 1 avalanche skills who want to go deeper with their snow and avalanche knowledge, as well as travel in more complex terrain.  On this course, we spend time expanding student’s knowledge of the science of snow metamorphism, and apply this knowledge to have a better understanding of the season snowpack history and the nature of existing avalanche problems.  We utilize the AAI Backcountry Avalanche Checklist as a system for sorting and prioritizing information in the field, setting a tone of teamwork, and minimizing human factor traps.

  Forty percent of the course is online/classroom based and the other sixty percent is field based. We will travel in the backcountry, in and around avalanche terrain.
