Motorized Avalanche Skills Training Level 2

Why M.A.S.T 2

If M.A.S.T 1 is your backcountry driver’s permit, Motorized Avalanche Skills Training level 2 is your performance road test. This snowmobile snow bike specific course is spread over three days. You’ll deepen your avalanche expertise. You will advance from foundational concepts to complex snowpack analysis and multi-person rescues. Our industry-leading instructors guide you through the course step by step. They make sure every new skill clicks before you tackle it in real terrain.

Who Should Attend

MAST 2 is designed for snowmobile and snow bike riders who:

• Crave confidence in leading multi-responder rescues and group travel
• Have completed M.A.S.T 1 or 1+ (or equivalent) within the past year
• Want to elevate their snowpack evaluation and decision-making

If it has been some time since your last course we recommend you or your group enroll in our M.A.S.T 2+ program

What You’ll Learn

In three immersive days, you’ll:

• Optimize Group Travel Management: Refine spacing, communication signals, and contingency planning for motorized teams
• Perform Advanced Snowpack Analysis: Conduct in-depth stability tests and interpret results on varied slopes
• Lead Complex Rescues: Coordinate transceivers searches, probe-line strategies, and efficient shoveling under pressure
• Master Group Decision Models: Apply risk frameworks to plan safe routes in evolving terrain, weather, and snowpack

This program is perfect for snowmobile and snow bike riders. It helps them advance along our progressive, graduated learning path. This path builds skills step by step for lasting confidence in the backcountry.
