AST 2 - RMS Courses

ACC Rocky Mountain Section

The ACC Rocky Mountain Section has decided to offer a mid-season AST 2 course. The course is over two weekends, covers the standard Avalanche Canada curriculum and is being taughtby an ACMG guide. One classroom day and three field days. The classroom will be at the ACC Clubhouse in Canmore and the field days will be in K-Country, Banff, Yoho or Kootenay National Parks. You need your AST 1 as a prerequisite and to be an intermediate backcountry skier or snowboarder. You need your own equipement, including the avalanche rescue gear.
The AST 2 course builds on the foundations of AST 1, and provides a more advanced decision-making framework for travelling in avalanche terrain. You will learn progressive planning and travel techniques through various types of terrain, techniques for using the Danger Rating on a local scale, key techniques for applying the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) technical model to develop personal, local terrain ratings, and how to proficiently carry out a companion rescue. 
The course is 4 days in duration, run over two weekends:February 11th-12th and February 18th-19th 
Instructor: Chris Girard, ACMG Guide
