What to expect

Homework, virtual planning session, field session.

Session 1:

One week out from your field session you will receive a tour planning homework assignment.  The evening prior to the field session we will have a virtual tour planning session.  In the field we will execute our planned objectives.

Further Sessions:

Continued involvement with the Avy 3 mentorship progression will open up our ability to enter into bigger terrain as we build trust and rapport among the team.

After your first session you will be included on communication about more advanced follow up opportunities involving participants throughout the Avy 3 program not just your field session.  These are great opportunities to meet motivated skiers and riders and build your own effective teams.
