Avalanche Safety

Avalanche is the greatest hazard facing 'out of bounds' backcountry skiers and boarders, 'sledders' and ice climbers. The knowledge gained from Yamnuska avalanche courses will significantly improve your safety margins. Yamnuska courses are taught by a core staff of senior full time certified guides and professional members of the Canadian Avalanche Association.

These safety courses follow curriculums established by the Canadian Avalanche Centre.

"Overall I think Yamnuska did a fantastic job of taking an extremely complex - even overwhelming - topic and packaging it into a digestible introductory course. It? certainly not a simple task. Both Steve and Grant were great teachers with vast amounts of knowledge and were able to transfer some of that to us on a level that we could understand and deal with. The course was well orchestrated and organized."  Parry Loeffler - Alberta
