With the recent and repeated avalanche warnings and the high number of avalanche fatalities this year, our family has been talking about taking a back country safety course and avalanche safety training.
Both Action Jackson and I are drawn to back country skiing. As of yet, we do not have any equipment, but it is on our radar... Craigslist watch out! I have a low risk tolerance and like to be prepared...
Can anybody recommend a good general back country safety course and avalanche training in Vancouver/North Vancouver? Are there members out there who would be willing to organize something for other Fat Asses? I have just started my research and not looked at any hands on courses...I got as far as finding a great resource by the Canadian Avalance Centre.
