Jan 23 - 2 hr Avy Seminar at Red Deer Power Sports

This 2 hr avalanche seminar at Red Deer Power Sports is $25/family...bring the clan. Each family will receive an AVALUATOR (additional AVALUATORS may be purchased for $10) and we will learn how to use this new decision making tool.

For more information about the Seminars and the AVALUATOR click on the following links.



Here is a cool picture of storm snow instability from one of our December avalanche field sessions. The blocks are very low density (soft) slabs of recent storm snow that were not bonding to the layers surrounding them.

To register please email snowmobile@avalanche.ca or call Lori at 403-850-3042.
