Avalanche Training Course Level 1 Feb. 11-13, 2006

A beautiful day on Donner Summit to learn about avalanche safety. Everyone learned about skiing out of bounds, the hazards and what to look for in snow stability, and how to use their backcountry equipment. This is a great class to learn the basics to be safe in the backcountry.


The group talking about using probes to find a buried victim in an avalanche.


Chris looking at a failure in a snow pit and the class observing.

Learning basic rescue techniques using shovel, beacon, and probe.

Everyone enjoying the hike to the top of Donner Summit.
