Description

This training will focus on the basic knowledge and skills necessary
for travel on skis/split-boards in the backcountry. Topics that will be covered
include
equipment usage, trip planning, basic navigation, route finding, basic
avalanche knowledge, etc.

Note that this training is not a
substitute for proper avalanche training such as AST 1.

The training will be based out of the Coquihalla Lake Lodge. We
will meet on Friday at 7pm in the lodge, where we will start the
training with a classroom session. We will get up early Saturday
morning for a full day
outside, which will be followed by another class room session.
Sunday will be another full day outside. We plan to be back at the
cars
around sunset. Details will follow so keep an eye on the website
