Tips from MSAC
- Consider taking an Avalanche Awareness Class prior to a Level 1 to learn the fundamental principles of avalanches.
- Students using skis, splitboard, or a snowmachine on their course should be proficient with their gear and movement skills prior to the course. Consider taking an Intro to Touring or a riding skills course first.
- The Level 2 course builds on the topics introduced in a Level 1. You will get the most out of your Level 2 if you get plenty of experience in the backcountry following the Level 1.
