This course is designed to train both the handler and canine in the fundamental skills needed to build a solid foundation in avalanche search.  Based on years of attending both the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association (CARDA), Swiss Alpine Rescue (ARS) and the Wasatch Backcountry Rescue (WBR) winter courses.  Our methods are simple and easy to replicate at your ski hill we’ve geared towards ski patrol dogs and the resources available to them.  Progressing from live runaways to buried articles (scented wool) and into multiple burials for advanced dog teams.  Groups will be set based on both handler and dog experience levels to maximize benefits for all teams.
