I did the low ratio airie 1 class and am very happy that I did so. As someone that has been touring for a few years now and snowboarding in the Wasatch for over 15 years I thought I had pretty good knowledge about snow safety. But I definitely learned a few helpful things and it’s also always good to have a refresher on the knowledge you do have. I would definitely recommend taking this class if you are trying to get more knowledge about traveling in the backcountry safely. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns.

Honestly one of the best classes I’ve take, Jake and Vic are both through educators and great guides. If you’re looking to take a AIARE course these guys are great! I left feeling more prepared to deal with avalanche problems and identifying risks in the backcountry.
