American Institute of Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE) Level 2 to be offered Feb. 7-10 here at NASTC, a great opportunity if you have your Level 1 to get deeper knowledge of how avalanches form, what the snowpack is doing, what to look for, route finding and navigation, use of rescue equipment, and trip planning. This is a must-have for anyone venturing into the backcountry often, especially if other skiers or riders are depending on your leadership.
