Avalanche Education Schedule

All of my avalanche courses and classes are now offered through AlpenPro. Course material other than the field sessions are now available through the Avalanche Institute on Avalanche-Center.org. An advanced course on terrain analysis is also available online. A tentative schedule for field days during the 2008-09 season is posted below.

The AlpenPro schedule page is updated regularly with any additions or changes, and if there are any discrepancies between this list and the AlpenPro list the AlpenPro one should be considered most current. The AlpenPro schedule also has additional notes that are updated throughout the season while this list is simple and does not include that information.

Avalanche classes and/or field sessions can still be privately arranged through me personally. I generally limit groups to eight students and expect a minimum of four - if you have a group of four to eight interested people let me know and we'll schedule it at a time and place convenient to your group. I have made some exceptions for student clubs in which I charged less per person and accepted a larger class.

I offer other types of classes and guided trips at other times of the year. Such as basic mountaineering, glacier travel and crevasse rescue, and desert trips. You can stay informed of these by joining my newsletter mailing list, and more background is available by starting from my Guiding Page.
