This new class offered by the Northwest Avalanche Center is built on guidelines from the American Avalanche Association. A 3-hour classroom session specifically addressing avalanche safety for snowmobilers is followed by a 4-hour field session teaching students how to perform efficient companion rescue in an avalanche accident. This course is intended as an accessible course for all levels of snowmobilers, from beginner to pro, and provides students with the opportunity to learn and practice avalanche basics and companion rescue in a realistic setting. It prepares students well for a 3-day Level 1 Avalanche course.

At NWAC, we do not want the cost of our offerings to be a limitation for participating. If financial assistance is required please reach out to jeff@nwac.us for information.
