About this item

Here's an auction item that could save your life, literally. And the lives of others you ski and snowboard with.

Upgrade your safety skills with an AST1 course thanks to Avalanche Australia. The Avalanche Canada Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 Course provides an entry-level decision-making framework that is based on the most advanced knowledge available.

It is suitable for use by people with little experience in entering the side / backcountry and will provide the prerequisite knowledge required for further avalanche training;

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • Understand the basics of avalanche formation and release.

  • Identify avalanche terrain.

  • Know the steps required to plan and carry out a trip.

  • Use the Avaluator™ as a decision-making tool in areas where trips are rated using the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) and where Avalanche Danger Ratings and Avalanche Bulletins are available.

  • Find resources for obtaining ATES terrain ratings if their trip is not rated.

  • Find resources for obtaining Avalanche Danger Ratings and Avalanche Bulletins if these are not available.

  • Use appropriate travel techniques in avalanche terrain.

  • Carry out a companion rescue.

  • Understand the limits of their training.

Courses are based out of Jindabyne in New South Wales and Mt Hotham in Victoria throughout the 2020 winter.
