Whether for riders that are new to the mountains or those that have years of backcountry experience, these seminars offer valuable knowledge that could make all the difference when conditions change. More importantly, they're designed not just for the rider, but for everyone that's part of the ride. Bring friends. Bring family. Bring the riding group. When in avalanche terrain, riding partners are the first responders. The people immediately on-site beside are the ones most likely to save a life in an emergency. That's why Ski-Doo strongly encourages attendees to bring those they share the mountains with. Avalanche awareness is most effective when everyone in the group understands the risks, recognizes warning signs, and knows how to respond when seconds count. For nearly two decades, these seminars have helped riders make better decisions in the backcountry through practical, up-to-date education covering avalanche awareness, route planning, rescue techniques, safety equipment and forecast resources, while encouraging participants to pursue additional avalanche training. More than 30,000 snowmobilers have attended to date, making this one of the longest-running and most trusted avalanche education programs in the snowmobile industry. Supporting the program for a ninth consecutive year is Backcountry Access (BCA), a leader in avalanche safety equipment and education.
