2,5 days basic avalanche course held in english for the experienced skier
Are you fresh out of the ski resort and recently got you the ski randonnee gear? Maybe you recently moved to Tromsø to study or work and brought you skis? Or are you an experienced skier who never did an avalanche course or just wanting to refresh your skills.
In any of these cases we highly recommend you to join this 2,5 days avalanche course and stay safe through the winter.
We run this course two weekends during the winter so that you’ll be ready for the long sunny and white days returning with endless turns down the mountains.
Program for the course is:
Friday 7 PM - 9 PM: Theory evening and tour planning for saturday
Saturday 9 AM - 3 PM: Skiing trip, in-field practice (transceiver, terrain,
route choice and movement patterns)
3 PM - 4 PM: Tour planning sunday
Sunday 9 AM - 3 PM: Skiing trip, in-field practice (terrain, introduction
to snow-knowledge and rescue exercise).
Where?
We will use our basecamp close to Håkøya where we have toilet facilities and heated rooms for
theory and tour planning.
Transportation
Our 9-seater van will depart from the city center around 6:30PM friday, and around 8:30 AM
saturday and sunday.
Upon registration please let us know if you need a seat or if you wish to drive your own car. We highly recommend that we all drive together to save fuel and parking spots on our ski trips.
We are running two courses this winter. One the weekend 24th-26th of January and the second the weekend of 28th of February-2nd of March
