The AIARE 1 Refresher Course is an opportunity to gain practice leading a backcountry tour in a mentored setting. This one-day, field-based course is geared toward backcountry travelers who have previously taken an AIARE 1 or equivalent course, though it may have been some time ago. The course provides students with a review of essential concepts online, then a day in the field to practice each element of the AIARE Decision-Making Framework as they plan and lead a backcountry tour, practice companion rescue, and develop communication strategies with an AIARE Instructor.
If you’re returning to formal avalanche education for the first time in years or setting off on the right foot with a new group of travel partners, this course was created for you.
