Motorized Avalanche Skills Training Level 2+

Why M.A.S.T 2+

Motorized Avalanche Skills Training 2+ is the ultimate backcountry boot camp, designed specifically for snowmobile and snow bike riders. This program offers a solid refresher build into the course. This ensures riders are fully prepared before diving into the advanced Level 2 course curriculum.

Over four action-packed days, you’ll start with a hands-on review of core concepts. This includes snowpack assessment, transceiver searches, and motorized specific rescue protocols. Then, you’ll tackle more complex skills like snow pit analysis, multi-responder rescues, and dynamic group travel scenarios.

Led by our industry-leading instructors, this course reinforces each skill and technique. Ensuring you’re ready to apply them in real terrain. By the end of the program, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge needed to handle more complex terrain and navigate challenging avalanche situations with ease.

Who Should Attend

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

• Crave confidence in advanced snowpack evaluation, rescue coordination, and group decision-making
• Completed M.A.S.T 1 or 1+ and or A.S.T course was completed over a year previous
• Feel rusty on core avalanche skills and want a thorough refresher

This program is ideal for riders who, having not taken a M.A.S.T. or A.S.T. course in some time, are now seeking to refresh and strengthen their skills before advancing. It serves as the perfect opportunity to build a solid foundation for more advanced avalanche training.

• Review Core Skills: Reinforce companion rescue, transceiver searches, and basic terrain evaluation
• Perform Advanced Snowpack Analysis: Conduct extended stability tests and interpret complex layering
• Lead Multi-Responder Rescues: Execute beacon searches, probe-line tactics, and coordinated shoveling under time pressure
• Optimize Group Travel Management: Refine spacing, communication signals, and contingency planning in evolving terrain
