DO YOU GUYS WANT AVY TRAINING OR NOT??!!

[modsledr]

Ok, here we go again.

On the snow Avalanche Awareness Course is close to being cancelled due to lack of sign ups. I know the snow is better now than last month, but if you haven't taken an awareness class how will you be prepared when the unthinkable happens?

SIGN UP PAGE

Look at the reviews from previous classes. All of you who think you are prepared just because you have the gear better look at yourself in the mirror for a reality check. Do you trust your lack of knowledge and skills to save the lives of your riding partners? Do you trust that they have the knowledge and skills to save you?

Now for the kicker!!! For those of you with the LAME excuse of "it's too much money"...ASAP is now offering a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. If, at the end of the course, you didn't get out of this class all that was promissed, you will be given a refund!! (full or partial based on your feedback...solely at the discression of ASAP).

Based on the feedback of EVERY student from previous classes, this is a VERY safe offer for ASAP to make.

So there it is...no more excuses...GET SIGNED UP AND GET EDUCATED.

Here is a link to the Avy forecast for today...and the danger is going to be higher this weekend with the new snowload and wind conditions.

Money well spent. I thought I was ready to cope with an incident... I wasn't. Thank you to everyone organizing these.

Do the right thing for yourself and your riding partners (and their families)....Take these classes.

Avy training

This class is an eye opener, I can't say it enough. When I ride I now look at the 98% around me...
You will understand if you take the class - your chances are not very good without education - real hands-on training on how to save a fellow rider.

AMEN This program is the best of it's kind for the money period! This IS the program that will show you where YOU and your EQUIPMENT rate at avalanche rescue readiness.

A little food for thought..............

Nice find EPPS

Training may not have helped there, but the hill was not that big but what a surprise. LUCKY. All i got to say is spread the word, do your best to surround yourself with riders that have at least the proper gear and training...dont forget to practice what ya learned.

 

[justadude]

Do it !! It's an eye opener!!! If your lucky you'll have Coyote Girl as an instuctor!! She's been through it herself and like Modsledder, they really cares about people being informed and trained in Avy awareness and being able to rescue people. It's part of all of our responsibility to the sport and our fellow riders.

 

[modsledr]

Great feedback and responses, folks...THANKS!!

The class on Saturday was held with only 6 participants and 2 instructors (who took a loss in order to still hold the class).

Keep up the outreach and spread the word.

The avy link that VanEpps posted is a testament of some of the protocols that are taught:

1 person on the hill at a time.
Everyone else if safe zones.
Someone taking charge of the rescue scene.
Rescuers remaining level headed and not panicking.
Having proper gear and knowing how to use it.

All in all a great result in a potentially disastrous situation.

a couple of weekends ago I ran into a group of about 15 sleds on the trail up French Cabin, one of them got stuck so as they dug it out and I waited to head back down I busted out my beacon on search mode just to see.

Not a single person had a beacon, and all had very capable high $$$ snowmobiles. It's pretty sad the people you run into that don't have the slightest clue. I know I wont be caught riding with them.

Doesn't that just blow your mind? We saw a group of six at Harts pass earlier this season who were tearing it up under considerable conditions...they had nothing-no beacons, probes, or shovels. Unbelievable.

Not sure I'd call that lucky! But thanks.

Just for clarification, I am not an instructor. I'm just a helper trying to get peeps in the class and help however I can throughout the classes.

And yes, I have been through two avalanches and I'll share my stories to anyone who wants to hear. I do this so to hopefully prevent any of you ever having to feel that pain in person. Unfortunately I'm finding that just hearing these stories isn't enough to get the majority into a class.
