So I know it is early yet but just wondering if anybody has seen a schedule for some Avalanche Classes in south east Idaho. I will be willing to travel to Utah if need. I have all the gear The boy and I have been pushing it over the last couple years and it is time to do it.

Thanks

There are multiple options out there and no replacement for on the snow training. Regardless of who you choose to take a course with, the most important thing is that you are pursuing education and good on you for that! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sawtooth Avalanche Center puts on several every year and our local snowmobile club sponsors a snowmobile specific one with them. Also check Idaho Parks and Recreation as winter gets closer, they put on a class and field day in each region.
