We offer avalanche courses in the Park City area for professional and
recreational backcountry users of all levels.
There are courses for every level of backcountry user, from skier to
snowboarder, telemark to snowshoe or snowmobile traveler.
We also offer special avalanche training for aspiring American Mountain
Guides Association (AMGA) ski and ski mountaineering guides. Our courses
are produced by the American Avalanche Institute for Research and Education
(AIARE). These avalanche courses are also internationally recognized for ski
patrollers, guides and other professionals. The recording methods and
standards learned are consistent throughout our network, which exists
throughout the world.
Our teaching style is on the cutting edge: full PowerPoint
presentations, small classes and information on the latest research and
developing standards throughout the USA. We strictly follow international
standards in recording weather, snowpack and avalanche activity.
Our instructors are specially trained and qualified by AIARE and certified
by the either the AMGA or IFMGA (International Mountain Guide Association)
in ski guiding or all aspects of mountain guiding to emphasize
decision-making in avalanche terrain as well as travel techniques.
Our instructors have experience in every snow condition and climate and have
guided and conducted avalanche classes throughout the world. They are simply
among the best in the field!
For our level III avalanche courses, we have only fully
IFMGA/internationally certified guides instructing. We keep our high
standards by requiring yearly refresher courses and international workshops.
