Avalanche Awareness - Methven

Alpine Guides' 1.5-day Mountain Safety Council-accredited Avalanche Awareness program introduces skiers and snowboarders to the skills needed for safe travel in avalanche terrain.

This course is available in 2 locations - Methven and the Mackenzie Region.

Topics Include

1. Identifying avalanche terrain

2. Learn safe travel techniques

3. Gather snowpack information

4. How to respond if a member of your group is caught in an avalanche

The course begins with a 3-hour classroom session on Saturday evening - we introduce you to the basic concepts of avalanche formation and prepare for our day in the field. The next morning we meet at the ski area car park and gear up for a day on the snow.

Book with confidence that you’ll train under the guidance of an IGMGA/NZMGA snow safety expert from the Methven Heliski / Alpine Guides team.
