Pre Requirements
There are no formal pre requirements in terms of avalanche education to join the course but the more you read before you join us the more difficult questions you will be able to ask.
The one thing we do require is that you can operate on skis or snow board at a level that will allow the team to move comfortably and efficiently to any part of the mountain that we want to use for training. If you are using a board you should be able to hold a traverse and any line that a skier would take. If you are unable to move like this we have to reserve the right to ask you to step out of the practical on hill elements of the course with no refund.
