Available from December through March
Learning Outcomes
- Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain.
- Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain.

Who Should Take This Course
AIARE level 1 is for skiers and splitboarders who wants to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. Participants may have attended some awareness classes or workshops or completed the Avalanche Rescue course, but none are a prerequisite for this course.
LOW RATIO AIARE Level 1 is for skiers and riders that have already acquired backcountry experience and now want to add accredited avalanche training to the quiver. Participants must have previous touring experience, good fitness and downhill ability and a command of how their touring equipment works. Participants should have the ability to ski 3000+ vertical feet a day, ride black diamond terrain in any condition and have a solid command in the use of backcountry touring equipment.
