The course introduces students to the skills, techniques and leadership strategies of avalanche search and rescue. It is designed for industry professionals who can act as incident commanders at avalanche incidents.  <\/p>\n<p>This intensive three-day technical course is essentially taught in the field, with a combination of demonstrations and practical workshops. Students will be required to do a significant amount of reading and quizzing (approx. 20 hours) before the course starts. <\/p>\n<p>This training may also be suitable for snowmobilers if they are able to travel in variable snow conditions and on various terrains using snowshoes\/skis\/splitboards<em> <\/em>while carrying a backpack.
