Avalanche Classes

Well that is a start...Thanks. I rode out west at Togwotee for the first time with a guide. I had all the basics needed(stick, rented beacon, shovel) but knew it wasn't enough without the training. I saw the post you, Carter, and others made about the importance of proper training and will make the effort to be take a class. Purchasing the videos sounds like a good idea as well. I hope there is something yet this summer because the fall is a very busy time for me and really don't want to go in the early winter to take the class unless I have to...but will.
tough this time of yr. BRP has free Duffy classes in the fall otherwise Google Mike Duffy avalanche 1 and look over his scheduled events prob not out yet but who knows. his DVD is good and worth buying not a bad refresher to pop in the lap top on your 18hr drives
