Wednesday 12/16 | Get the training. 

Education is everything. So far this week, we’ve learned the backcountry is dangerous and uncertain. Good thing we can overcome this uncertainty by getting educated! Taking an AIARE Level 1 or avalanche 101 class is a great way to learn how you can make the proper decision in the backcountry.

Today, we will cover why you need training and where to find training providers and routines to follow once you have training because education is everything.

Where to get training:
