H EDU 4755 - Pro Level 2 Avalanche

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Health Promotion & Education

Description:

This course is designed for avalanche workers moving into leadership roles within their operations or for experienced workers who desire to continue to develop their risk management leadership skills. The course progresses beyond hazard analysis and moves into avalanche forecasting for different avalanche problems, snow climates and operations. The course will advance the skills for both mitigation-based and avoidance-based avalanche professionals. The tools taught and practiced will apply equally well for ski patrollers, guides, outdoor educators, public avalanche forecasters, and highway program personnel. The course will also address the distinctions between 'mitigators' and guides and add tools for both sets to use. Prior to enrollment in the course, students must provide Professional Level 1 Avalanche certification.
