Motorized AIARE 2 is a 24-hour course that provides backcountry riders an opportunity to advance their decision making skills in more complicated situations with respect to traveling in avalanche terrain - such as being the leader of group, riding in complex terrain, and developing a plan where resources are scarce.

This course builds on the backcountry decision making process introduced in AIARE 1 and adds to it the evaluation of critical hazard assessment factors with more focus on weather, snowpack, avalanche processes, and how these topics relate to observations and riding in avalanche terrain. This course is essential for any backcountry snowmobiler or snow biker who's skills and aspirations are taking them to more complicated terrain.

AIARE 1 + Avalanche Rescue (or equivalents) are a prerequisite for this course.
