Course Description

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.

Who Should Take this Course

The Motorized Rescue course is for snowbikers and snowmobilers who want to recreate in or near avalanche terrain. Participants may have attended some awareness classes or workshops or completed a level 1 course but none are a prerequisite for this course. Aspiring professionals will need to take the Level 1 and Rescue courses as a prerequisite for the Level 2 and Pro 1 courses.
