Introduction
The VOC avalanche course for members in January of every year. Spaces are limited, and it fills up quickly, so make sure to sign up early if you want a spot. This course is a heck of a lot cheaper than than taking a course open to the public.
It is a good idea for anyone who is interested in traveling in the backcountry to take an avalanche course. Each year the VOC organizes one or two entry-level avalanche courses for members, so that our members can get a group rate for the course. Avalanche course students learn about some snow science basics, terrain, route finding, snow stability testing and rescue.
This years course is being done by Canada West Mountain School
