Avalanche Education Programs

Recreational Programs - Avalanche Courses

AlpenPro offers recreational avalanche safety courses. We maintain a formal curriculum which includes a list of lesson plans (or modules, online) with objectives and a student handbook. Major revisions, improvements and additions to our materials are made on an ongoing basis. These changes are based on new developments, teaching experiences, and feedback from students as well as professional reviewers. Our materials are proprietary and copyrighted and may only be used in official approved AlpenPro courses.

Past avalanche courses have been offered in New York, New Hampshire, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Montana and Nevada. We will continue to arrange traditional courses for groups of six or more, but we are now focusing on a new online approach. This allows a much more comprehensive course without the limits imposed by time, attention spans, and other factors that are inevitable when trying to cover too much in a weekend.

AlpenPro course fees include opportunities to order safety equipment at a large discount and also a one year membership to Avalanche-Center.org
