AST II
For Ski & Splitboard
Avalanche Skills Training Level 2 @ Tiny Town
This is where we take it to the next level. Learn to manage avalanche terrain, recognize danger, and mitigate risk.
Course Details
During a 4 day stay in Tiny Town in White Pass, we take your snowpack, weather, and terrain evaluation to a new level. We also polish your companion rescue skills. We do it all in the most interesting terrain conditions will allow for.
An AST I is a prerequisite for AST II.
Tag your friends to take this course with you because one trained person in a group is not enough to be avalanche-ready.
There is limited availability and spots go fast!
