2007-2008 Avalanche Programs & Fees for Course Hosts
It is awesome that you are viewing this so early in the season!
This is the best time to get your group organized and book an avalanche class. Sledders are highly motivated in the pre-season and the courses that run from October – December fill easily.
We are now taking deposits for custom courses for 2007-2008.
2 of the 10 weekends are still available.
There are many weekday opportunities as well.
If you are a business, club or individual seeking to organize a custom session for your community or riding group contact Zac’s for a quote.

Training Options:

Beacon Workshop – 2.5 hours
AST 1 Classroom Training – 8+ hours
AST 1 Hands-on Field Training – 8+ hours
(certificate issued upon completion of the 16 hr AST 1 class & field training program)
AST 2 – 4 day program
Customized Class – you choose the schedule & program length – 2 hrs to 4 days
As a Course Host, choose a course type, date and location and estimate the group size.
The course quotes are based on day rates plus expenses. The cost to your participants will depend on the group size and the travel expenses from Calgary, AB.
Keep the group size small to maximize instructor time
or gather up a larger group for a lower per person pricing.
Registration and promotion for these programs will be completed by the Course Hosts.
A fully transferable but non-refundable deposit of $500 will hold your chosen date until September 30th. After September 30th booking details will be completed with the Course Host and a deposit of $1000 confirms the program. Full payment is due prior to the training program.
Should a group cancel with less than 4 weeks notice, the deposit will be retained. This deposit is fully transferable and we encourage you to find another group to book in your space. Winter weekends are a non-renewable resource!
Individuals looking for training should scroll up to the Events Calendar. Some of the Course Hosts may have opened their programs up to the public.
Another option may be to participate in the open forum below. Post the number of riders interested in training and your preferred dates and locations. Hopefully groups can get organized on-line in this manner and successfully schedule the training that they are seeking.
