Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides is a leader in avalanche safety and education, with nearly a decade of experience providing top-quality winter education across the Front Range. We’re proud to present our 2018 – 2019 AIARE Level I Courses in keeping with the tradition of sterling avalanche safety training that we are known for.
Our AIARE Level I Courses are designed to fit around a typical workday schedule in order to maximize learning time around everyday life, with two four hour classroom sessions in our office in Gunbarrel, North Boulder, and two full day field days in Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest. In addition, we have partnered with Backcountry Access (BCA) to provide our students with the latest and best in avalanche beacons, probes, and shovels, which are available for rent to our students for the duration of the course at no additional charge.
AIARE Level I is meant to teach the fundamentals of avalanche safety including reading terrain, choosing a safe ascent and descent route, mitigating hidden dangers, and learning to locate and rescue a buried companion. Although we love the mountains, sometimes the mountains don’t love us, and we want to be sure that we are providing the best way to find and mitigate dangerous situations.
