Sail with the Pirates in Valemount this winter. Open intake AST Course schedule.

[Depsnolvr]

Hey all,


At Frozen Pirate, we know that not everyone fits into our typical private course setup and we have just scheduled three "open" intake courses based out of the Valemount area.


These courses will consist of class sessions Friday and Saturday evenings, with the field day completed on the Sunday. This allows for a great break up of the heavy classroom information and also allows you to ride for a day while completing the full Avalanche Skills Training course in one weekend (which we are strong advocates of)


The schedules for these open courses are as follows. We will need a minimum of 6 participants to run each course.


December 16-18
January 20-22
February 10-12


We still have several openings for our private courses in January, February and March. So if you and your group are sitting on the fence, get off and get booking as these spaces are filling fast.


Our Early Bird rates are still in effect for anyone booking before November 1, 2016. This results in a $25 savings per participant.

Are you a member of the Alberta Snowmobile Association? If not, you SHOULD BE!

Ay AST2 courses in the schedule?

 

[Depsnolvr]

Sorry for the delay. Typically we do private courses. Our winter is booking very quickly. If you were able to get a 4 or 5 friends together, we would be happy to put on an ast 2 for you or if others chime in, we would be able to arrange one for sure as long as we can work out a schedule that works for everyone.

Have to say thank you Curtis for a great weekend of training. Really enjoyed the way you have your course set up with the evening classes and the field day on Sunday. Been riding for 25 years and man was I humbled in my knowledge of terrain and my recovery skills. I am now confident that I can save my riding buddies if I need too and am also confident that anyone that has been trained by Frozen Pirates will dig me up if I make a horrible mistake in the back country. Don't be like me and wait so long to get your AST1 and get some training.
