This season, I am running avalanche courses again, but in the form of Swedish SVELAV instead of Canadian AST. Same quality, different name - the format and course content will remain similar. The course contents are continuously updated and developed to guarantee the best training possible. I have taught avalanche courses in Norway and Georgia for several seasons, and courses have received only >>5/5 ratings. Courses take place either in Åre / Snasahögarna (Storulvån) or Narvik, depending on where participants come from. All courses are taught in English.
Friåkning 2 / Freeride 2
This is an advanced training course focusing on tour planning and risk management. The training involves daily trip planning and preparations inspired by avalanche risk management but adapted to the recreational skier/snowboarder. The course focuses on understanding avalanche forecasts, avalanche problems, tour planning and preparations, group communication, decision-making, gathering and prioritizing information and making safe route choices in the mountains. The course goal is for participants to be prepared to plan and conduct their own ski tours and off-piste skiing after completing the training. I also expand on avalanche rescue.
The course price includes instructor fees and course material. Accommodation, transportation and lift passes need to be arraged seperately. I usually try to arrange an AirBnB for course participants travelling from abroad.
