Avalanche Awareness Clinic 1+ hour
This is for those who are snowshoeing or skiing or snowmobiling the winter backcountry without real knowledge or understanding of avalanche danger. The introductory lecture will introduce the concepts of avalanche safety. Trip planning, terrain definitions, important snowpack factors, basic avalanche dynamics and risks are among the topics covered. These lectures also present an opportunity to see if a full Avalanche Level 1 course might be of interest in the future.
