Motorized Level 1
Motorized Level 1 is a 3 day / 24 hour avalanche course specifically designed for snowmobilers and snow bikers. This course emphasizes riding time and teaches the fundamental aspects involved in decision making and the risk management process with respect to backcountry snowmobiling and snow biking in avalanche terrain. Topics covered include preparation, planning, and execution of a backcountry ride, avalanche terrain identification, hazard mitigation, and safe travel techniques; as well as basic weather and snowpack analysis and avalanche rescue techniques. After short classroom sessions, we get out in the field and ride each day of the course to apply the topics. This course is right for any snowmobiler or snow biker that wants to leave the trail.
