AIARE Avalanche Level I - Snowmobile

American Alpine Institute ETPL
This course takes AIARE's avalanche curriculum and tailors it specifically towards motorized users, whether on a snowmobile or a snowbike. This introductory level course provides students with the tools, knowledge, and decision making skills necessary to minimize your exposure to risk in avalanche terrain. Similar to the course for skiers, boarders and mountaineers, but this course is for the motorized community and taught by experienced sledders. This course will teach students what to look for in the snow pack, how to test stability, how to read terrain and avoid danger zones, and how to rescue themselves and partners if caught in an avalanche. The goals of this course are to: Provide a basic understanding of avalanches. Describe a framework for decision-making and risk management in avalanche terrain. Focus less on providing "answers" and more on identifying the right questions. Provide lessons and exercises that are practically oriented, useful, and applicable in the field.
