Bring your avalanche gear and riding partners to class.

Hope to see you there.

Professional avalanche education for mountain riders.
 
Mike I know you do good work. But please don't call these "Avalanche Training". They are more of an "Info session", designed to get accredited life long training started by all who attends. Or just an "open house" to help sell oil and belts...(and avy gear.)
We all know that AST1 to1.5 is the absolute minimum any backcountry enthusiast should hold prior to their adventures. (I think USA has a different accreditation?)
Please don't take this the wrong way, but it is important to dialogue on the fact that these 2 hours "scare sessions" should be just that. A way to get riders into full on classroom sessions.
Again good work, but I just cringe when I see or hear from their families after a fatality that "yeah they had Avalanche training" only to find out they went to the 2 hour open house sponsored by BRP.
We all need to encourage our riding pals, friends and family to get the proper training with AST as a minimum. 2 Days investment is the least a rider should commit.


Safe sledding.

In reverse order:
1. Its important and has been successful to plant the concept of avalanche safety with riders everywhere. This course gets people to thinking. On a percentage basis, i see more out of staters that attended a duffy class, that want to do things right showing up with awareness AND equipment than I see locals heading down the right track. The class is not for perfect knowledge but on the right track. Mission accomplished in the upper midwest swings. Wake up, mountain locals!

2. These are awareness awakening classes. Been to more than one and been on snow courses. These two hour sessions get people thinking, and some commit to actual avalanche classes in classroom and on snow. I have been appalled at what attendees have shown for lack of awareness for even mere stranded situation survival. Mike gets the thoughts going. He and BRP don't pretend that the classes are more but they serve very important functions. I would much rather be with someone that went to this classroom than one who has not done anything.

You hit the nail on the head Randy. I am totally with you on this one. It is an awareness to the dangers out in the back-country and should be an eye-opener for more in-depth training. As you point out, at the very least, an AST1 (a two day course with one day in the classroom and the second day in the field).

You said it well and I thank you for pointing it out.
