Overview

The Mountain Guides’ AIARE Avalanche Rescue is a one-day stand alone course that is intended to be taken on a regular basis in order to keep abreast of best practices in rescue techniques and gear. New participants will learn the basics of companion rescue, while return participants will expand their skill set with advanced topics and realistic scenario practice to help improve their skills after the course. Each participant will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching their rescue skills and will receive a rescue card acknowledging completion date at course end. All Avalanche Rescue courses at our Wasatch location utilize a hybrid learning model. Your learning starts as soon as you enroll with an online module. Then, you’ll meet with your instructor at 8 AM the day of the course. Learning to negotiate the backcountry takes years of dedication and practice. We encourage all backcountry travelers to continue their avalanche education yearly. In addition to Avalanche Rescue, we also offer AIARE 1 and AIARE 2courses as well as a number of camps and clinics that get you into the mountains!
