Hands-On Avalanche Training
Our Avalanche Courses are designed for snowmobile and snow bike riders. They blend flexible theory options—either online or in-person—with immersive, hands-on field days. From that foundation, you’ll progress through Intro to M.A.S.T., a one-day field session (plus optional online prep), before stepping into M.A.S.T. 1’s two-day curriculum (with an extra “1+” field day available). Afterward, you’ll deepen your expertise in M.A.S.T. 2. This course lasts over three days. You can opt for a “2+” refresher if needed. Then culminate your training in the comprehensive six-day M.A.S.T. 3/3+ program. Throughout each level, Industry Leading Instructors guide you with driving analogies. They also assist you with real-terrain drills and team-based scenarios. This ensures every skill clicks before you head back into the backcountry.
Hands-On First Aid Training
Our Motorized Wilderness First Aid (M.W.F.A) is a two-day, entry-level course designed for riders new to first aid and ideal for backcountry beginners. Next, the Motorized Wilderness Advanced First Aid (M.W.A.F.A) spans four days and covers the essential skills every intermediate rider should master. For seasoned mountain riders, our Motorized Wilderness First Responder (M.W.F.R) is an eight-day, in-depth certification.
We also offer a Bridge option: complete the M.W.A.F.A program, then add a focused four-day module to earn your M.W.F.R credential. All programs feature optional online pre-loading to streamline your training days. This reduces overall costs, and reduces the days needed in class. Ensuring you get the most hands-on practice possible.
Online Learning
First, our self-paced Motorized Avalanche Online Learning platform is designed by Industry Leading Instructors. It gives snowmobile and snow bike riders flexible, anytime access to essential avalanche theory. Next, you’ll delve into interactive modules covering snowpack science, transceiver techniques, and terrain travel management. Then, you’ll master rescue protocols and backcountry preparedness essentials. Finally, you’ll emerge with a rock-solid foundation. This allows you to spend less time in a classroom. You can spend more time sharpening your skills in the field.
Mentoring
It all begins with a personalized assessment of your skill level. This applies whether you are stepping into the backcountry for the first time. Or, you’ve already clocked hundreds of miles on the trails. From there, our mentors guide you through hands-on drills in real terrain. They apply driving-inspired coaching to fuse avalanche theory. They teach extraction procedures, survival tactics, and clear team communication. These elements are fused into muscle memory. Finally, dedicate just one focused day (or two) on your next outing. You’ll cement these abilities. You will learn exactly when to push your limits and when to pull back. You will emerge fully prepared for the ultimate “road test” of the backcountry.
