avalanche training FOR sledders BY sledders

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.

 

We also offer a single day SSC (Snow Safety Clinic) as a refresher or brief introduction to backcountry safety.
