| This is designed as an avalanche review day for ski trip leaders.
Participants should be comfortable recognizing avalanche terrain, knowing how to access avy bulletin / weather information, and self-rescue principles.
We'll head-out for a day and discuss conditions, terrain, do some snow pack and instability tests, and generally chat about avalanches.
