You know guys, I'm not trying to be critical about the free avy course the other night but, in all honesty you can learn just as much on line as this "Avy Awareness" course had to offer. I've done some free stuff on line and practiced up in the hills with my beacons and I didn't really get much out of the session. The Gal who did the session was excellent and I think we have to applaud Bombardier in making a concious effort to begin educating sledders about the inherent dangers involved with sledding in the back country but.... I think a person has to spend some serious cash to really get fully educated about avalanches. I do think there were some fellows there that did get something out of it though. Just my opinion.
