KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: WILDERNESS RESCUE RESOURCES AND WHAT TO EXPECT
What happens when you need a rescue in the wilderness? Who shows up? What do they do? How do they manage a situation? Do you have to pay for a rescue? Will a helicopter come? Who is in charge? How will they find me?
Wilderness rescue, search and rescue and mountain rescue are complicated topics. This is because they don't fit easily into one box. It's different everywhere you go. In this seminar, we will discuss how rescue operations work locally, how they work in other jurisdictions, and how they work internationally. In addition to that, we'll talk about tne complicated politics of search and rescue operations in a wilderness setting.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: AVALANCHE AWARENESS
This program is designed to introduce winter backcountry enthusiasts to avalanche terrain assessment, winter snowpack analysis and rescue technique. It also provides you a venue to talk frankly with our expert guides on how to create a reasonable margin of safety when climbing, skiing, or snowboarding on avalanche prone slopes.
