Hangfire Avalanche Training was developed out of the sheer need for an Avalanche Skills Training (AST) course that was sled specific. Our vision was to develop a course that was rider orientated, with emphasis on safe terrain negotiation, rescue techniques, and hazard awareness.
Upon completion of this course you will have the skills necessary to perform a lead role in a rescue, be aware of hazards, gather information on safe trip planning, basic knowledge of avalanche formation, travel, and rescue.
You also receive a Hangfire Avalanche Training AST level 1 certificate acknowledging you have completed your training.
This course is a prerequisite for advanced recreational courses and professional level programs. For more information visit Canadian Avalanche Association.
