MountainSavvy
    Level I Refresher - Mt Hood

 

Join us for this interactive refresher. This is not simply a refresher but a good deal of recent state-of-the-art concepts built for those who have already taken a Level I.

 

PREREQUISITES AND EQUIPMENT

Candidates for this session must already hold a U.S. Level I or Canadian RAC/AST certificate.

All avalanche equipment (transceiver, shovel, probe and study equipment) will be supplied to you, but you may choose to bring and use your own equipment in order to become more familiar and practiced with it.


SCHEDULE AND LOCATION

We will meet at 8:00 AM and spend the morning in Government Camp, OR. In the afternoon we will travel to our snow site for field exercises.

 

REGISTRATION FEE:    $99

A full refund or credit (your choice) will be provided when cancellation or reschedule notice is given by participant more than 30 days prior to their session start date. If notice is given less than 30 days prior to their session start date, the participant will receive no refund unless we are able to fill the slot you have reserved. We will do all we can to fill a vacancy left open by a cancellation or a reschedule and most often we are able to do so due to high demand. Cancellations made within 30 days of the session, that are successfully filled will be refunded at 90%. MountainSavvy suggests that participants purchase travel insurance to cover any loss that may result from circumstances that may prevent them from attending their session.
