Testimonials

 

I completed an Avalanche Level 1 class offered by Six Points Avalanche Education in mid December. This class was everything I had hoped for. Eric and Bill definitely know their stuff! The balance between the classroom and the field sessions was great. I really enjoyed the field days with real-life types of scenarios, which were the most valuable to me. This was an awesome way to start off the season, and to get my mind thinking more about good decision making, given this season’s current poor snowpack structure. This class is something that all winter backcountry users should take and will benefit from.

I just completed their level one avy course and it was everything I could have wished for. Classroom explanation to real world barrier scenarios and snow grading. Very valuable information that I’d recommend to anybody who rides the back country to take.
— Brady Bell
I just completed Six Points Avalanche Level 1 course and am walking away wishing all backcountry users would take this class. Whether you are new to avalanche terrain or are looking for a refresher of your last Level 1 class, Eric and Bill know their stuff! I found the class to be a great value because of the balance of information shared in the classroom as well as the priceless time out in the field testing our skills. This was my second time taking a level 1 course and couldn’t be happier with the time spent with these awesome guys.
Thank you!
