You’ve taken an AST 1 course now, but what’s next? Perhaps you want to take an AST 2 course but need to gain some more experience first? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Join CAA Level II-certified and ACMG guide Sean Prockter as you spend two days in the backcountry learning a variety of important skills to safely navigate in avalanche terrain.

Day 1: The first day we will focus on building off of the skills introduced in the AST 1 course. Some of the topics covered are:

• Applying weather and the Avalanche Bulletin to the terrain we visit

• Using both formal and informal tests to enhance decision-making in the field

• Uphill and downhill track setting techniques for efficient travel through avalanche terrain

Day 2: The second day will take us to a different location where you’ll have the chance to apply some of the skills discussed on Day 1. Everyone will have an opportunity to lead, gaining feedback along the way.
