Level 1 Field Trips are meant to follow an Avalanche Awareness class. This means that Avalanche Awareness can be upgraded to a Level 1 Certification by taking an extra (second) field trip, which is called the Level 1 Field Trip. This extra trip is optional.
If you have taken Avalanche Awareness in past seasons, you can possibly take a Level 1 Field Trip to complete certification. You would need to talk to us to decide if your previous training is adequate or recent enough.
For those of you who have done a Level 1 Field Trip, good for you! But realize that if you want to work towards becoming a trip leader, then taking a Level 1 Field Trip is a great way to start the season. Gain more experience with a professional. Every snowpack is different. Every winter tour is different.
Includes:
Guided field trip.
Level 1 Certification (certificate included).

February 12-15, 2010
The Level 2 course is a 4-day program that provides backcountry leaders the opportunity to advance their avalanche knowledge and decision making skills. This course also includes the introductory and prerequisite components for the professional progression.
The Level 2 builds from the introductory avalanche hazard management model introduced in the Level 1 and adds to it the evaluation of factors critical to stability evaluation.
Prerequisites:
* Level 1 or Level 1 refresher in the last 3 years. Level 2 cannot be taken in the same year as Level 1, without special permission from the instructor due to the advanced nature and intensity of Level 2.
* Course providers recommended reading.
