Class was extremely informative! I would recommend this course by zacstracs! Professional yet fun. I go into the mountains with a different perspective that keeps me safer. Money well spent. Content was thorough and Lori was a great teacher!

I gained a whole new wealth of knowledge. It gave me a new outlook on our route choices, our mountain choices and an appreciation for the forecast. The best part was the exercise at the beginning of the course, it was a real eye opener! Worth every cent and every minute I was there, I would 100% recommend this course to all who backcountry. 
I will definitely take it again for a refresher.  -Kimberly, Winnipeg, MB

I learnt to broaden my range of view when riding, to keep an eye on possible danger zones. Best part was the breathing through the straw. Did not realize the limited breathing capability you have when buried in an avalanche. I wouldn’t change a thing. It was a long day but I was always interested in the material. Well done! -Jan, Brandon, MB

I gained more appreciation for the places I love to ride in, as well as more knowledge about the risks that come with the sport. The best part about the training was how the information was presented and the interactive environment that was created. That helped me retain more of the information and concepts that was given. It was definitely worth my time. I feel more confident going out to the mountains now that I know what to look for in the areas I ride and I can make better decisions when I’m out there.  -Jaclynn, Swift Current

This training was worth every penny. I learned that I was not as prepared as I thought and will be making adjustments to my equipment and trip planning. There was tons of information and techniques I was not aware of. The day is jam packed so be ready to learn. I will be taking additional training. Thanks Zacs Tracs! -Jason, Red Deer

I liked the part where we had to breath through a slurpy straw after getting buried by snow for four minutes.. really good example of what it is like to be buried and struggle for air! ( i had to cheat a bit )

I would definitely recommend the course to beginners as well as anyone that has mountain experience and has not yet informed themselves on mountain safety. . 2017 is my seventh year of mountain riding and I am a little ashamed to say that this is my first step towards Avalanche Training. I wish I would have taken this course long ago!

There are lots of tools… beacons, probes, shovels, etc. 
But if you are buried and relying on someone to save you that has NO training…. then good luck sucking air through that slurpy blow-hole!!

Thank You!”

]]> “I took this course 5 years ago before I started riding in the mountains with my husband. This time I took it with my kids (11&13) who both can out ride me! So I knew it was important for them to go. They both learned a lot and they want to do every level of training. They are so excited about the on hill and just going this year to try the things they learned. Lori is an excellent trainer and keeps you engaged right till the end! 

Highly, highly recommend this class for all who ride. Anything that you can learn to help save a life especially a life a someone you ride with (I ride with my husband and kids) is priceless.

The workshop was awesome, learning key things that will help save a life is a no brainer. I took my 2 sons (11 & 13) who both snowmobile in the mountains and my one son said, “it was so much fun and we learned great techniques and I can’t wait to practice them!!” 
Wasn’t sure how much they would like it but they both loved it.

Lori is a great teacher and knows how to keep people engaged!”

]]> “The realization of the fact that I don’t want to be in an avalanche after the initial exercise of burial simulation and breathing through the straw. (Was an eye opener) That stressed the point that we better look for the hazards first instead of having the opinion that it won’t happen to us. Definitely make us more proactive and aware of danger situations. You couldn’t of stressed it more that the course is for recognizing danger and make better choices vs a course to save lives. 

The course was definitely worth the time and money and would like to see it expanded into Manitoba.

Once again money well spent!”
