Avy Class in Fernie, BC

Hello all,

Yes, we do have an avalanche class running in Fernie this weekend - Jan 3 & 4.

The classroom session on Saturday, Jan 3 has lots room, but the field session on Jan 4 is full.

A custom classroom session has been scheduled for Jan 5th, provided that we can gather at least 10 people.
This would run from 9-5:30pm in Fernie.

If this schedule works for you and your riding partners, please contact Chrissy with Zac's Tracs.
403-938-1605 or zacstracs@gmail.com
We will tentatively register you and run the course once we have enough fully registered participants.

I highly recommend the Level I course. I've taken it twice (along with a bunch of other ones). It's a good, all inclusive course.
