What you can expect to learn
* 4 persistent weak layers and what you can do to avoid them (these were responsible for many of last season's fatalities)
* why all hoars are bad, even the pretty ones ;-)
* why your long time local knowledge of a riding area isn’t always enough to keep you safe
* your snowmobile can be a tool or it can be a weapon. Learn to use its power to your advantage
* key webpages that should be accessed before each riding day
* FREE sources to gather and build your avy knowledge and experience
* why the blueprint changes season to season, even from day to day. What is this year’s blueprint?
* why rocks and trees are like icebergs
* eight killer terrain features
* the 5 most important questions to ask when organizing a rescue
* how to properly use an avalanche probe (no, I will not be quoting Cartman from Southpark but what I show you will probably surprise you)
* who in your riding group is an asset and who is a liability (and who is just an a$$!)
* key benefits and limitations of beacons, probes, shovels, and airbags. Features you should look for in your friend’s gear. (Afterall, the gear that your friends carry is to SAVE YOUR LIFE. Make sure it is the best stuff!)
* and of course, how to use that beacon hanging around your neck.
