Currently we are working through our Avalanche Awareness unit, which will culminate in our Snowshoe trip. Our Snowshoe trip has moved to early March.
We will look at the snowpack, how it changes and why. We'll talk about route planning, what terrain traps are and how to avoid them. Later we'll discuss the gear you use in the backcountry and steps that are involved in saving someone who might be caught in an avalanche.
This is a simple introduction. This is not meant as a comprehensive class. Students should not head into the backcountry without a more involved class.
