Private AST Level 1 courses can be hosted in Whistler or Squamish and consist of half a day of online learning (at each individuals pace in the week leading up to the course) and one field day. You may be taking your first steps outside the resort’s boundaries. You may be an experienced mountain rider seeking a more solid foundation. Whatever your current level, this course will teach you everything you need to know – so you can enjoy the backcountry safely and self-assured.
