Wasatch Mountain Guides is stoked to announce our new Level 1 Hybrid Avalanche Course (AAI Level 1), which we created working together with the American Avalanche Institute. This comprehensive course offers both online learning and two 8-hour hands-on field days in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah, led by expert instructors from Wasatch Mountain Guides.
What’s Included:
- Self-Paced Online Learning Course
- Live Virtual Seminar with Expert WMG Instructors
- Two In-Depth Field Days in the Backcountry
What's Included?
- 24 hrs. of Instruction (2 field days + evening virtual meeting + Self-paced online learning course)
- The online portion of this course was produced and developed by the American Avalanche Institute and is focused on the Backcountry Avalanche Checklist. This is a systemic approach to decision making in the complex backcountry environment.
- The online course can be done at your own pace and is rich with informative videos and discussions. Each section has a quiz that must be completed in order to continue. The quizzes can be reviewed, complete with explanations on the correct answers.
- There is a workbook that goes along with the online course, which dives even deeper into the learning. Conveniently there are also note outlines to assist with your studies.
The field days will be full 8 hour days based in Big or Little Cottonwood Canyon, and will cover:
- Terrain Assessment, Safe Travel, Snowpack and Weather, Tour Planning, Field Ops and Stability Test Use and Interpretation, Rescue (including beacon search, probing techniques, and strategic shoveling).
