AIARE 1
Why RRA for avalanche education?
Our AIARE classes are taught by experienced ski and split board guides that are both AIARE providers and AMGA certified split or ski guides. These individuals are not only expert guides but are also excellent instructors who have, themselves, been through extensive course work and examination.
Our courses get you in the field each day as we believe that this kind of learning is best accomplished outside.
