THIS IS AN AT HOME ZOOM LECTURE SERIES. IT IS NOT AT THE AMC. IGNORE THE MAP. In AIARE 1, the focus was on learning about the AIARE Decision Making Framework. In the AIARE 2 lectures, you can expect a deeper dive into all things snow and a case or two for review. The lectures will provide a structural foundation for your three field days.
Three full days in the field with instructor(s). Using the AIARE Decision Making Framework, you'll plan and execute your ski tour days with your team. Outcomes include building your terrain management travel, and decision making skills, practicing team leadership and management, and bridging weather forecasts and the known avalanche hazards to conditions in the field to reduce uncertainty as you progress through the day's tour.
The Zoom lecture series are a deep dive into planning tours in avalanche terrain; encompassing weather, snowpack, avalanche terrain identification and evaluation, human factors including reducing biases, leadership, teamwork decision-making, and using technology. All of this is within AIARE Risk Management Framework you learned in AIARE 1.
