Online Climbers Avalanche Course - Details
You can keep up with news about the Avalanche Center and Avalanche Institute, including this course, by joining our email list. (We also post on Facebook but you will only see that if Facebook decides to show it to you. Since we do not pay them to do that our distribution there is limited.)
This is a shorter more narrowly focused than the Level 1 Avalanche Course with an emphasis on factors important in spring and in mountaineering. You can check out our detailed comparison between this climber's avalanche course and the Level 1 course.
You can read the objectives for any of the modules by clicking on its box in the flowchart. They will appear in a small pop-up window. (This will only work on a full size image, not when rescaled on a phone which is too small. But the objectives are also near the top of the full description pages.) For full details (including objectives) about any module use the links on the right side or below the flowchart.
