Avy 3

These are one day mentorship opportunities for advanced recreational skiers and riders who would like to pursue further practical training and mentorship without entering the professional training progression.

Small group targeted mentorship

Work with a small group and an IFMGA Guide to build practical skills for managing complex terrain and active avalanche problems.

Team up with a certified guide to plan and execute a tour.  At every step of the process you will have opportunities to be involved, ask questions and refine your process for managing complex terrain.  

Meet like minded riders, build strong teams, work with mentors planning and executing objectives. 

 

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. 

On your first session, we cannot guarantee we will be able to step out into more challenging committed terrain.  As we have time in the field for the team to get to know each other we may have the potential to build into this on session one.

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.
