Avalanche Level 1/Backcountry Travel Courses
Not offered in 2008/2009
Summit Huts will offer one course for the upcoming winter. This session is scheduled to be a certified Avalanche Level 1 course designed for backcountry enthusiasts with little or no previous avalanche education who want to learn more about safe backcountry travel and become more confident with their backcountry rescue skills. The workshop focuses on providing information and skills to help you increase your understanding of avalanches and the winter snow pack, as well as the skills necessary to react appropriately if an avalanche were to occur. This three day course includes two nights at Francie's Cabin, two dinners and breakfasts, instruction with Colorado Avalanche Information Center's instructors. This has been a very popular course in the past, so if you are interested sign up early!
