Riding backcountry is one of the most rewarding experiences a rider can ever partake in, however, it is also one of the most dangerous. In order to prepare to effectively (and safely) face backcountry terrain, I’d highly recommend starting out by taking a backcountry safety course. In fact, we just got word that Brighton Resort in Utah will be offering a backcountry 101 avalanche awareness course in 2 weeks! Details below. In the meantime, we’ll keep our eye out for more backcountry awareness course options and share them on Westbound Boarder, because safety should always be first priority.
What? Brighton 101 Avalanche Awareness Course
Presented by: Brighton Patrol and the Utah Avalanche Center
Additional Details: This 10-hour course is designed for resort “sidecountry users.” Topics include using UAC forecasts, hazard assessment, safe travel and terrain recognition, “side country” use, snowpack observation and partner rescue.
Dates: Jan. 13 at 5pm, and Jan. 14 at 10am
Cost: $40.00
Must Have: Advanced-Intermediate riding skills, beacon, shovel, probe, and lift ticket
