Avalanche Awareness |
The Renaissance Adventure Guides is pleased to offer you the opportunity
to increase your winter knowledge of snow conditions in the surrounding
mountains. Feel safe about getting out into the winter wonderland
of Colorado.
Learn about the factors that make up an avalanche, analysis of the
snow, route finding and proper avalanche beacon techniques. The first
evening’s clinic is at the Renaissance Adventure Guides. The second culminates
with a full day in the spectacular setting of Rocky Mountain National
Park! For those of you doing the Avalanche 1 Certification, we will
spend a second day on the snow honing our skills, digging snow pits,
and running mock rescues. Our course
outline is available.
