AIARE 1 Splitboard

The AIARE 1 is for Splitboarders who want to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. The AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management. These courses will feature an in person classroom session along with 2 field days at Mount Baker.

Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).

Learning Outcomes

• Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain.
• Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain.
• Effectively use The AIARE Risk Management Framework to make terrain choices in a group setting.
