During this unique AIARE 1 we utilize snowmobiles to access terrain to skin, ski, and ride. No previous snowmobile experience required.  

 

Inspired Summit has been a leader in hybrid sled access touring here in Utah and we are excited to have our team of AIARE certified instructors and seasoned sled access guides share their technical and practical skills.

​

The AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management.

Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).

​

​

Who Should Take this Course

The AIARE 1 is for ANYONE, who wants to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. Participants may have attended some awareness classes or workshops or completed the Avalanche Rescue course, but none are a prerequisite for this course.

Aspiring professionals will need to take the AIARE 1 and Avalanche Rescue as a prerequisite for the Pro 1 course.

​

Student Learning Outcomes

At the end of the AIARE 1 course, the student should be able to:

  • Develop a plan for travel in avalanche terrain.

  • Demonstrate the ability to identify avalanche terrain.

  • Effectively use The AIARE Risk Management Framework to make terrain choices in a group setting.

  • Demonstrate effective companion rescue.
