Field Day – Berthoud Pass

This is an 8 hour course with an on-line learning component which can be accessed prior to the class and afterwards.  The AIARE site requires a login and a code to get to the on-line materials.  You will receive the link to the site along with the code on January 31, 2026, two weeks prior to the class.

Most of the time is in the field practicing burial/rescue scenarios as individuals, as teams, single burials to multi-burials being coached by an AIARE Professional.

Questions, e-mail Uwe Sartori.

Meet: Berthoud Pass Parking Lot on east side of the pass. We'll meet at the warming hut at the north end of the parking lot.

Class Start Time: 07:00 - you should be passing Woolly Mammoth P&R at least by 05:45 to avoid getting stuck in traffic and arriving late.  Don't be late.

Departure Time: 14:00

We'll have a working lunch

Recommend car pooling to keep the CMC footprint small.

Have all your gear on, including your boots, transceiver - inside your outer layer or pocket if it has a loop to hook your transceiver to. Have it turned on. Leave helmet, backpacks, skis, split-boards and snowshoes in your car.  The warming hut is a public place. We want to keep the CMC footprint as small as we can.
