Day 1 · Avalanche terrain safety training
You will learn to use winter safety equipment (transceiver, shovel, and probe), identify avalanche risk in the terrain, and apply avalanche rescue protocols. Later in the afternoon, you will participate in a talk on winter route planning where you will discover tools such as the BPA and avalanche cartography.
