Avalanche courses in Revelstoke, built for sledders. Avalanche education is a standing commitment here, not a disclaimer. In partnership with Soul Rides, we offer motorized-specific avalanche training taught in the terrain you actually ride.

WHICH COURSE

AST 1 IS THE
STARTING LINE

AST stands for Avalanche Skills Training — the Canadian standard. Level 1 is two days and teaches you to recognise avalanche terrain, read the daily forecast, and run a companion rescue.

Motorized AST covers the same curriculum on a sled, because a sled changes how fast you enter terrain and how far you travel from help.

Level 01

2 days

MOTORIZED AST 1

Online theory plus two field days on sleds. Terrain recognition, trip planning, transceiver search, and companion rescue under load.

Runs Dec – Mar

Level 02

4 days

AST 2

For riders already making their own calls. Snowpack assessment, route-finding in complex terrain, and group decision-making.

AST 1 required

COURSES RUN WITH SOUL RIDES

Certified instruction, booked on their calendar. We supply the sleds, the gear and the terrain knowledge.

AVALANCHE COURSES IN REVELSTOKE,
FOR RIDERS

Start with AST 1. If you ride off the groomed trail at Boulder or Frisby, you’re in avalanche terrain. Motorized AST 1 is online theory plus two field days on sleds: terrain recognition, trip planning, transceiver search and companion rescue. Of all the avalanche courses in Revelstoke, it’s the one every rider in your group should have.

Then AST 2. Four days for riders already making their own calls: snowpack assessment, route-finding in complex terrain and group decisions. AST 1 is required.

Why motorized-specific. A sled gets you into big terrain fast and a long way from help. Motorized avalanche courses in Revelstoke teach the same Avalanche Canada curriculum at sled speed, in the terrain you’ll actually ride.

No sled? No problem. Rent a current-year machine from our fleet for your field days, and add a transceiver ($30/day), airbag pack ($70/day) or radio ($25/day).

Next step. Once you’ve got AST 1, a Turcotte riding clinic is the fastest way to ride steeper terrain with better habits. Before every ride, check the daily forecast from Avalanche Canada.
