Any time we play in the winter we run the risk of being caught out in the cold unexpectedly; most of us have our own stories or know of someone that has been stuck out in the cold. It does not have to be a terrifying experience if you are prepared and confident in your skills.

​

This will be a thorough and comprehensive class that provides answers to the questions that begin with "WHAT IF" when you're out playing in the winter. Many of us enjoy recreating here in the inland northwest year round and that means enduring some of the coldest, most snowy conditions in the US. We would like to help you prepare for that unexpected moment that can leave any of us feeling helpless in the snowy backcountry.
