We are so excited to be offering an all womens AIARE Level 1 partnered with an amazing group whose focus is to uplift and promote the women's outdoor community. We also want to extend a warm welcome to trans, cisgender, and any non-binary skiers/splitboarders whom center their education in women-focused spaces. We will be connecting in the mountains together through inclusivity, strength, endurance, and education. We will learn from each other and create confident partners in the mountains. And most of all... we will have a heck ton of fun while doing it.
What is involved with the AIARE Level 1 Avalanche Course?
The AIARE Level 1 avalanche course is designed to give you a full introduction to backcountry travel. When you take your level one with San Juan Expeditions you will get hands-on experience analyzing the avalanche hazard and using your observations to make decisions in the field. We are committed to providing both tools for understanding the avalanche problem and the terrain management skills you can only get from observing an experienced guide.
Our course leaders are both AIARE certified instructors and AMGA (American Mountain Guides Association) trained guides. So when you take one of our courses you know you will be under the mentorship of an experienced and qualified guide, not just an instructor.
This means you will not only learn about avalanche theory but you will apply what you have learned by going skiing/riding under the mentorship of an experienced guide and by making real decisions.
With an all-women's course with San Juan Expeditions, you will be led by a knowledgeable, energetic, and inclusive team of talented female guides.
