AVALANCHE SAFETY COURSE WITH MIKE DUFFYThe mountains are calling. Are you prepared?
Whether you're an experienced backcountry rider or just beginning to explore beyond the trails, understanding avalanche safety is one of the most important skills you can bring into the mountains.
Join us Saturday, November 21st, at 2 PM as we welcome back renowned avalanche safety instructor Mike Duffy of Avalanche1.com for a FREE, interactive, hands-on course designed specifically for snowmobilers.
Mike brings extensive experience training backcountry and off-trail riders. His approach goes well beyond a typical classroom presentation, combining real-world demonstrations, video, and hands-on exercises to help riders recognize avalanche hazards, make better decisions, and respond effectively in an emergency.

• Avalanche avoidance and recognizing dangerous terrain
• How to interpret avalanche forecasts
• Snowpack analysis and why it matters
• Terrain assessment, route finding, and group dynamics
• Different types of avalanches and their warning signs
