Testimonials
My two 15 year old sons and I took the AST 1 course last weekend. I came away from the two days with a keen appreciation of how little I knew about avalanche danger. The boys actually admitted that they had learned a lot! And they had fun. Jan was great. I look back at this being one of the best things I have done for my kids in a long time. It could save their lives. Thanks. Paul Cosulich, Vancouver, BC.
An awesome experience! I can't wait to get out and use it. Patrick McConnell, Courtenay, BC.
Even though it was our 5th year running, I felt that your delivery of new course material and presentation techniques keeps getting better. Your ability to teach teenagers about terrain and avalanche risk assessment and group decisions is very effective. Thank you for helping to inspire tomorrow's stewards of nature. Andrew Jackson, Glen Lyon Norfolk School, Victoria, BC.
Thanks again for a great course. I think it was exactly what we needed. Kyle Milburn, Ecofish Research Ltd., Courtenay, BC.
