OAL 485 - Avalanche 2 2 credits Provides backcountry travelers an opportunity to advance their decision-making skills in more complicated situations such as being a leader within a small travel group, traveling in more complicated terrain, and/or developing a travel plan where online resources are scarce. Avalanche 2 builds on the introductory avalanche hazard management model introduced in Avalanche Rescue and adds to it the evaluation of critical hazard assessment factors. Students describe and discuss weather, snowpack, and avalanche processes, and identify how these processes relate to observations and travel within avalanche terrain. Prerequisite(s): OAL 484 . Graded Pass/No Pass only.
