LEVEL 1 ZOOM starting from $79

The AIARE Level 1 Zoom Course combines the flexibility of online learning with the hands-on experience of in-person field days, making it the perfect option for those with busy schedules or remote learners. This hybrid format allows you to complete the classroom portion of the course from the comfort of your home, followed by immersive backcountry field sessions that bring the theory to life.

The Zoom classroom session, conducted over two evenings, delivers comprehensive instruction in avalanche awareness, terrain analysis, decision-making frameworks, and essential safety techniques. With interactive discussions, virtual demonstrations, and expert guidance, you’ll gain the foundational knowledge necessary for safe travel in avalanche terrain.

After completing the online portion, participants join small groups for two in-person field days in Colorado’s stunning backcountry. These hands-on sessions allow you to apply your skills in real-world scenarios, including route planning, snowpack evaluation, and companion rescue drills. Under the mentorship of experienced instructors, you’ll practice navigating avalanche terrain, assessing risks, and making informed decisions.

The system ensures seamless booking by guiding you to reserve your field days immediately after signing up for the Zoom course. If you prefer, you’re also welcome to attend an in-person classroom day instead of the virtual session.

This course is ideal for skiers, snowboarders, and snowshoers eager to expand their backcountry knowledge without the need to take time off from work. The combination of online convenience and in-person practicality ensures you’ll have a well-rounded learning experience that meets AIARE standards.

Sign up today to enjoy the best of both worlds: flexible online instruction and impactful backcountry field training. Prepare to explore avalanche terrain confidently and safely with the AIARE Level 1 Zoom Course.
