Telluride & Regional Avalanche Education

Why take an avalanche education course or class? The question should really be why not. With scholarship assistance from the Peter Inglis Avalanche Education Fund (learn more about that here), there are no excuses not to elevate or continue your learning for the backcountry. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of courses in the Telluride region. In addition to the courses listed below, most guide services and schools in the Telluride region offer custom courses. So grab your ski/snowboard buddies and progress your learning and education this winter!

Remember: if you don’t know, don’t go. Or, hire a guide. If you are frequenting the backcountry, any/all of these courses should be on your radar. Learn more about the AIARE program here and the AAA programs here.
