The AIARE (American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education) Level 1 avalanche course is a must for everyone who travels in the backcountry in the Wasatch. This three day, 24 hour course emphasizes awareness and avoidance of avalanche terrain. We teach and provide a checklist for basic decision-making strategies. The course includes travel techniques, basic rescue procedures and information that should be known by anyone traveling with or without a guide in the backcountry. Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a trip, to understand the basic decision making, and learn to rescue a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught). This course includes both classroom and field work and is based in the Park City area.  This is an AIARE sanctioned Level 1 course taught by ONLY AIARE certified instructors.
