Overview:

Prepare for the unexpected!  AIARE Avalanche Rescue is a one-day stand-alone course that is intended to be retaken on a regular basis in order to keep abreast of best practices in rescue techniques and gear. New participants will learn the basics of companion rescue, while return participants will expand their skill set with advanced topics and realistic practice scenario to help improve their skills after the course.

Course Description:

During your AIARE Avalanche Rescue, each participant will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching their rescue skills and will receive a rescue card acknowledging completion date at course end.

AIARE Avalanche Rescue is a prerequisite for the AIARE 2 and Pro 1 courses. AIARE recommends that all backcountry travelers keep their skills current by taking an Avalanche Rescue Course and receiving a rescue card at least every other year.

Student Outcomes:

At the end of the Avalanche Rescue course the student should be able to:

• Describe what to do if they or a member of their party is caught in an avalanche
• Identify and be able to use gear necessary for avalanche rescue
• Set up a realistic scenario in order to practice an avalanche rescue response
• Improve their response skills and times during and after the course with feedback from instructors and peers
• Develop a plan for continued practice

All students will have the opportunity to get feedback from an instructor on their rescue skills and timed practice with a realistic scenario.

Students who have previously taken an AIARE 1 or an Avalanche Rescue Course will find value in having a professional help them set up a realistic scenario, practice skills in a realistic setting, receive feedback from an instructor, keep up with current best practices, and have an opportunity to practice advanced rescue skills.

Who should take the course:

The Avalanche Rescue Course is a one-day course aimed both at new and experienced recreationists and aspiring snow professionals.

Overview:

Take your avalanche education to the next level.  AIARE’s Recreational Level 2 (AIARE 2) is a three-day/24-hour course that provides backcountry travelers an opportunity to advance their decision-making skills in more complicated situations such as being a leader within a small travel group, traveling in more complicated terrain, and/or developing a travel plan where online resources are scarce.

The AIARE 2 builds on the introductory avalanche hazard management model introduced in the AIARE 1 and adds to it the evaluation of critical hazard assessment factors. Students will describe and discuss weather, snowpack and avalanche processes, and identify how these processes relate to observations and travel within avalanche terrain.

Student Outcomes:

1. Differentiate where specific avalanche hazards exist within the landscape and identify avalanche terrain where consequences may be more severe.
2. Use and interpret weather, snow, and avalanche observations to locate appropriate terrain prior to entering and while in the field.
3. Demonstrate leadership skills within a small team that includes facilitating small group discussion, promoting appropriate terrain selection, and utilizing simple risk management strategies.
4. Implement a basic forecasting framework that can be used in conjunction with and in the absence of local supporting avalanche information.

Who should take this course:

The AIARE 2 is a three-day course for those who have taken an AIARE 1 and Avalanche Rescue and have had at least a year of backcountry travel experience. The AIARE 2 provides backcountry leaders the opportunity to advance their avalanche knowledge and decision-making skills.

Overview:

Know the snow and prepare for the unexpected.  The AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management.  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).

Student Outcomes:

At the end of the AIARE 1 course the student should be able to:

• Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain.
• Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain.
• Effectively use the AIARE Decision Making Framework to make terrain choices in a group setting
• Demonstrate effective companion rescue.

Who should take this course:

The AIARE 1 is for anyone, regardless of method of travel, who wants to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. Participants may have attended some awareness classes or workshops or completed the Avalanche Rescue course, but none are a prerequisite for this course.

Aspiring professionals will need to take the AIARE 1 and Avalanche Rescue as a prerequisite for the Pro 1 course.

Prerequisites:

• 16 – 25 years of age
• Able to travel in avalanche terrain
• Required equipment for all avalanche courses: Equipment List

Overview:

Know the snow and prepare for the unexpected.  The AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management.  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).

Student Outcomes:

At the end of the AIARE 1 course the student should be able to:

• Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain.
• Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain.
• Effectively use the AIARE Decision Making Framework to make terrain choices in a group setting
• Demonstrate effective companion rescue.

Who should take this course:

The AIARE 1 is for anyone, regardless of method of travel, who wants to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. Participants may have attended some awareness classes or workshops or completed the Avalanche Rescue course, but none are a prerequisite for this course.

Aspiring professionals will need to take the AIARE 1 and Avalanche Rescue as a prerequisite for the Pro 1 course.

Prerequisites:

• 16 – 25 years of age
• Able to travel in avalanche terrain
• Required equipment for all avalanche courses: Equipment List
