Mike Duffy Avalanche 1 training coming soon

[snowrdr]

For CA/NV riders we have an absolutely amazing opportunity to learn from Mike Duffy at Avalanche 1 who does all of the Ski-Doo Avalanche training across the US and Canada. Mike has put the dates of 1-26 and 1-27 on his schedule to come out and train us on Avalanche awareness and preparedness and while we have been lacking snow for a few years, Mikes course will be an amazing learning experience for all riders in the CA/NV riding area and while our snow has been lackluster we, all could use a life saving reminder class of how to prevent and recover a fellow rider in case of a Avalanche in our area. We will be providing location of the meetings and registration information coming soon, but at this point please open your schedules and plan accordingly as this education could save you or your riding buddy's life. As a person who is specifically focused in the critical care portion of healthcare and former attendee to Mikes program, I cannot express with more passion that we get as many riders as possible to this amazing opportunity to CA/NV area as we seem to be off the radar for specific snowmobile/avalanche training. Thank you Mike for your willingness to educate us in the CA/NV area

Where and when? I have been looking for some dates that are even close to this area and have not seen any. I figured it was because there are already courses at sierra college on avalanche awareness I would love to take one from him just because it centers around snowmobiling. Just sat through a lecture and i was the only snowmobile guy there. i could feel the back of my neck burning from the cross country skiers and snow hiker who loath anything motorized

Thanks,
Jesse

If can't make this Mike duffy course, I would recommend ASI in truckee who also does avalanche 1 training.

Classroom is out of backcountry store downtown truckee or sugarbowl.

Field portion of class is up on donner summit near sugarbowl.

It is not snowmobile specific but better than no training at all. When I did it years ago instructors were general Mountain men who ski, hike, and snowmobile. You could ask them snowmobile specific questions.


Weekend long course could save your life.
