Avalanche Awareness

The Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) offers free avalanche classes to the public throughout our forecast area.  NWAC has offered there time to provide  a 90 minute introductory presentation for our course.  

Whether you ski, snowshoe, snowboard, or snowmobile, recognition of avalanche danger is an essential and potentially lifesaving skill. This introductory virtual class provides a basic approach to managing risk. NWAC instructors will explain how to access avalanche and mountain weather forecasts and recognize basic signs of avalanche danger.

 Upon completion of this presentation, students will be issued the Avalanche Awareness Course badge.
