Best avalanche training for youth/families?

[Haggis]

Looking for recommendations for avalanche course providers that provide training for youth. I took an avalanche course many years ago, but took a break from sledding for about 10 years. Now that I am getting back into it I have 3 boys that are coming with me. Ages 15, 14 and 11. I am looking for a family friendly course provider that can provide AST 1 course for them and a much needed recertification for me. If you have gone through training with your kids please share your feedback and recommendations. Thx

I'd say any of them should be fine.
Try Zacstracks. I've done my AST1 twice through them. And was going through Hangfire this year.

I think the classroom session is now online training only. Then it's just a field day.

could make a weekend out of it and go with Frozen Pirate in Valemount. I have heard some great experiences, and some private classes available in the evenings after your day ride. check them out

Zac's has hung up their helmets in terms of teaching.

Really?

They put on a good course. Too bad.
