This is a Mid Week Event

AVALANCHE LEVEL ONE — Modules 1, 2 & 3

This class has multiple components. The first component is completed online; Eastern Division has moved the classroom into your home using its Learning Management System. Participants can expect a 3-day, mostly hands-on and outdoor program, which is both mentally and physically challenging. The class focuses on the remaining components on site.

The Smugglers Notch program involves both lift service and touring. Students are in and around avalanche terrain so that participants can gain a better feeling of what the terrain looks like. The students should come to class with equipment appropriate for both uphill and downhill skiing/riding. Split boards, telemark, or alpine touring equipment are required. This class is notorious for cold weather.

New Hampshire Region Board Meetings are open to the membership.
