The evening prior to the field day, you will partake in a Zoom session with your guide. You will discuss your prior knowledge of Companion Rescue techniques and assess areas that have either been forgotten or have changed so that the most can be made of the field day.
During the field day, you will work on practical skills and cover a multitude of situations including multiple burial scenarios, deep burials, tree wells, first aid considerations, preparing for moving an injured person, and assisting arriving resources which may include a helicopter.
This refresher course is all about making sure your awareness of how to assess and act in an avalanche scenario is in keeping with the current best practices and is an essential tool to have for any serious backcountry skier or snowboarder.
