Take an Introduction to splitboarding course with Splitboard HQ. All snowboarders can relate to the dream of endless powder, but they have seen many people with little to no experience have terrible first days on Splitboard HQ, which permanently discourages them.

On their Avalanche Skills Training course, they will introduce you to safe winter travel in the backcountry. Students will be required to complete some reading prior to the course, which will be discussed in greater detail on two field days with your certified guide. This course follows the extent of the Torrential slide Canada AST 1 program. They'll talk about how to use terrain to reduce risk, how to test snow stability, travel advice, and more.
