Course Description: The AIARE Level 2 course builds on your experience as a backcountry traveler. You will learn tools to apply the AIARE Framework, the repeatable process you learned in AIARE Level 1, to new situations and to self-direct your learning after the course. You will learn more skills to connect weather, snowpack, and avalanche processes and identify how these processes relate to observations and making safe travel decisions in avalanche terrain. This enables you to act as a leader within a small travel group and to identify and reduce uncertainty regarding terrain management and conditions.
Why Take Your AIARE Level 2 With Us? We only offer smaller classes with 12 students maximum and 2 instructors. All students will get time in the field with both instructors to maximize learning. Smaller courses also make the classroom sessions more intimate and allow for more discussion.
Who Should Take This Course: AIARE Level 2 provides backcountry leaders the opportunity to advance their avalanche knowledge and decision-making skills. The prerequisites for this course are an AIARE Level 1, an Avalanche Rescue course, and a winter of practical experience after taking AIARE Level 1.
