Avalanche Rescue Course
If you’re recreating in the mountains during winter, you need to know how to perform a rescue in case of an avalanche.
Like any skill, avalanche rescue techniques get rusty without regular practice — and when seconds matter, confidence and speed make all the difference.
Whether you’re brand new to the backcountry or a seasoned veteran, this one-day course is designed to help you build (or refresh) your rescue fundamentals through hands-on practice and real-world scenarios.
Come solo or bring your crew — everyone’s welcome!
-
In this course we’ll cover:
Using your beacon, probe, and shovel efficiently
Working within a rescue team
Managing a scene safely and effectively
Building confidence through repetition and guided feedback
What to Do After the Rescue (First Aid/Evacuation)
-
Avalanche Rescue practice is for everyone. Only requirement is having a ski touring/splitboard set up.
