Embarking on your backcountry journey requires both education and experience with your equipment, as well as knowledge of avalanche safety. VNTRbirds has designed this Backcountry Basics course specifically for women who are new to the backcountry. Learn touring techniques, optimize your equipment use, and much more from experienced instructors.
New participants will master the basics of companion rescue, while returning participants can enhance their skills with advanced techniques and hands-on scenarios. Regularly retaking this course helps you stay updated on the latest rescue practices and gear. Don't miss this chance to improve your abilities in avalanche rescue!
The AIARE 1 is an introduction to avalanche hazard management. Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig out a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).
