AIARE Level 2 - Advanced Avalanche Training

ANALYZING SNOW STABILITY & THE AVALANCHE HAZARD
The AIARE 2 is a course that provides backcountry travelers an opportunity to advance their decision making skills in more complicated situations such as being a leader within a small travel group, traveling in more complicated terrain, and/or developing a travel plan where resources are scarce.

The AIARE 2 builds on the introductory avalanche hazard management model introduced in the AIARE 1 and adds to it the evaluation of critical hazard assessment factors. Students will describe and discuss weather, snowpack and avalanche processes, and identify how these processes relate to observations and travel within avalanche terrain.

Prerequisites
· Participants must have the ability to travel in avalanche terrain.
· An AIARE 1 Course or equivalent Level 1 training is required.
· A winter of practical experience after the Level 1 course is highly recommended before taking the AIARE 2 course.
· AIARE or AAA approved one-day Avalanche Rescue Course is required.

This is a women specific AIARE level 2 course. We always welcome femme, transgender and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a femme-centered space.
