Typical AST 1 Course Schedule
The typical AST 1 class schedule includes a full day of classroom exercises. Registration at 8:30am, half hour lunch and finished by 5:30pm. When locations permit, it is recommended that the group reconvene in the evening for an informal discussion (over dinner and drinks…when appropriate for the group) of the various makes and models of avalanche rescue tools (beacons, etc.) and to watch a 45 minute training video.
Depending on daylight hours and distance to the staging area, the group should meet for the field exercises at 8:30am at the staging area with sleds full of fuel & oil, lunch packed, ready to ride. This is a hands-on work day in a mountain location on snowmobiles.
