If you have done AST and are an advanced rider, this course is designed to refresh your skills and take them to a higher level.
Our instructor Craig Sheppard is a Canadian Avalanche Association Level 3 instructor from Canada who was the head avalanche forecaster at Lake Louise for many years. Two days in the backcountry with him sharing his skills and knowledge is far and away the best opportunity you will get to advance your companion rescue, avalanche awareness, snow science and all-round snowcraft skills. If you're thinking of doing your Operational Level 1 any time soon, this will refresh and sharpen your skills.
