The biggest complaint about a typical three day Level 1 Avalanche Courses is we never get to ski enough Powder. This is a 4 day Level 1 course. By adding a 4th day to the trip, we can cover all the necessary Level 1 topics and spend one day dedicated to POWDER skiing!
During the 4 days, participants will be exposed to techniques and skills required to be a competent backcountry partner. This will include a combination of lectures and field sessions, where students will get hands on experience in learning about snowpack layering, terrain management, weather elements, decision making, and rescue skills. PLUS a day of dedicated POWDER skiing!
*Beartooth Powder Guides is an approved American Avalanche Association course provider. All Level 1 courses offer curriculum which exceeds the requirements set forth by the American Avalanche Association.
Price includes 3 nights lodging at The Mt. Zimmer Yurt. You will be responsible for your own food and cooking. (see list of yurt amenities below)
Price includes transportation to the Mt. Zimmer Yurt.
