What it is

Regular avalanche courses fill up at the start of the season, and work schedules keep people away. This course solves that: it is held where and when your group wants.

  • Content: double group check, transceiver search, probing, shovelling, scenario training, care after digging someone out. If time allows: compression test, weak-layer tests, rescuing someone who fell into a stream hole.
  • Place: where you want (around Asahikawa, around Sapporo, etc.)
  • Length: about 4 hours
  • The instructor lives in Sapporo; distant locations may carry an extra charge
  • Groups of 10 or more may be declined, or run with a support instructor at extra cost
  • Very small groups at distant locations may carry an extra charge or be declined
  • If the group is small, the date may be changed to open it to more people

Insurance

Arrange your own mountain and liability insurance. Insurance is not included in the fee.

Waiver

Take out mountain and liability insurance before taking part. Accident and injury insurance is not included in the fee. Mountain areas carry natural risks such as bad weather, rockfall, collapse and avalanches that cannot be fully removed. I understand that I take part with these risks, with my own and my family's consent. The course may be changed, cancelled or postponed because of weather or other force majeure. I will follow the organizer's decisions and instructions on site.
