Course Details

Colorado Adventure Guides teaches AIARE AVALANCHE RESCUE. In this one-day (8-hour) course, new participants will learn how to rescue a companion caught in an avalanche. We’ll focus on the gear and responding. Returning students will expand their skills and knowledge with advanced topics and realistic scenario practice. This class should be retaken regularly to keep abreast of the best practices in rescue techniques and gear. AIARE Avalanche Rescue is appropriate for both new and experienced recreational backcountry travelers, as well as aspiring avalanche professionals. AIARE recommends that all backcountry travelers keep their skills current by taking an Avalanche Rescue Course at least every other year. The AIARE Avalanche Rescue course is a prerequisite for the AIARE 2 and Pro 1 Courses.
