This course is designed for women who have either taken a class or spend a decent amount of time in the backcountry and would like to brush up on there skills. The Utah Avalanche Center has teamed up with SheJumps to bring you this women's only course.
Advanced Avalanche Skills class is a means of furthering the skills taught in the Backcountry 101 class and to spend time with avalanche professionals honing and refreshing your existing skills. You will leave this class understanding the most recent thinking about safe travel in avalanche terrain and with a heightened awareness of the avalanche issues we face in Utah.
We created this new course as a follow up to the 101 class, to brush up old Level 1 and Level 2 skills, to update the skills of long-time back country users, and as a way for experienced users to discuss avalanche issues with other experienced users and avalanche professionals
This is an 11 hour course for skiers, snowboarders, and snowshoers of all ages and credos. We welcome tele skiers, fixed heel skiers, snowboarders, splitboarders, free riders, new schoolers, old schoolers, powder hounds, locals, resort riders, soul riders, backcountry riders, hikers, snowshoe explorers, and everyone in between. The course is appropriate for everyone from seasoned backcountry users looking for a modern refresher to those who are new to backcountry terrain. We will get out in avalanche terrain to practice our stability assessment and decision making skills
