This blog update needs some serious refinement but I decided to post it now so I could get it online and start thinking about our next update.
Wow been almost a month since our last update, been busy and honestly bit lazy since the holidays. Cna be tough to hop on the computer after sitting behind one 60 hours a week at work.
After going to 3 free "Know Before You Go" local avalanche clinics it came time for my official avalanche training at Brighton called "Backcountry 101" this is not a level one certification class(Need a splitboard) more of a precursor to one. It consisted of one 7 hour night class session and a full day in the brighton side country with 3 other students and 2 snow safety instructors which in my case happend to be one of the avalanche control experts from Brighton and their lead avalanche Dog handler.
Here's some pics from my day in the field at Brighton "Backcountry 101"

Ifyou have a Brighton season pass this class is only 40$ compared to 150 at the Utah Avalanche center and all the gear you need is rent-able at any local REI or may other retail
or backcountry outlets. That 40$ could save your life.
