AIARE 2 Avalanche Course
Know before you go.
The AIARE 2 Course spans 24 hours spread out over 3 days and provides backcountry travelers an opportunity to advance their decision-making skills in more complex situations. Building on the AIARE Risk Management Framework introduced in the AIARE 1, the AIARE 2 prepares students for being leaders within a small travel group, traveling in more complicated terrain and/or developing a travel plan where resources are scarce.
Students will spend more time making their own snowpack interpretations through snowpit observations and tests, increasing their knowledge of snowpack processes and metamorphism & practicing group management through communication, teamwork and decision-making skills.
