AIARE Motorized Rescue and Rec Level 1 avalanche classes presented by Stable Mountain. Hosted at Brundage Mountain Resort. Sponsored by Friends of the Payette Avalanche Center. The Rescue course is a one-day stand alone course that is intended to be retaken on a regular basis in order to keep abreast of best practices in rescue techniques and gear. New participants will learn the basics of companion rescue, while returning participants will expand their skill set with advanced topics and realistic scenario practice to help improve their skills. The Level 1 course is a three-day, 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management. A short classroom session and two days on snow, let’s ride! Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person if an avalanche was to occur and someone in the party is caught. This course provides an introduction to using these decision making tools to help a group manage risk while traveling in avalanche terrain.
