COURSES

AVALANCHE RESCUE 1-DAY (TRUCKEE, CA)

St Anton am Arlberg, Austria Heart of the Alps All-Moutain Adventure
AIARE Rescue Course
Dates: Dec 1, 2023 & March 1, 2024 (Level 2: Dec 2-4, 2023  and March  2-4, 2024)
Price: $240
 
This is a one day, stand-alone avalanche rescue course intended to be retaken on a regular basis in order to keep abreast of best practices in rescue techniques and gear. Skiers and riders new to the course will learn the basics of companion rescue, while return participants will expand their skill set with advanced topics and realistic scenario practice to help improve their skills after the course.
Everyone will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching on their rescue skills and will also receive a “RESCUE CARD” which acknowledges the completion of this refresher.

This “know before you go,” Truckee-based avalanche rescue skills day is a pre-requisite for the AIARE 2 and the AIARE Pro 1. AIARE and NASTC recommend that all Tahoe backcountry skiers keep their skills sharp and current by taking the Rescue Course at least every other year.

Each year more skiers and riders are venturing into the backcountry lured by the opening up of resort boundary lines and the promise of pristine powder fields and underpopulated terrain. However, with more access the risk has never been greater, and the need to know basic safety protocols, rescue techniques, avalanche hazard awareness, and management are essential to survival and having a great time out there.

“My AIARE instructor in the NASTC Rescue Course was so good: kind, knowledgeable, patient. I had taken a Rescue class 4 years ago but forgot most of what I learned. I am so glad I devoted one (fun) day to this important stuff!” –Carlos, Oakland
