At the American Avalanche Institute, we’ve been teaching avalanche education for almost half a century.
Our online-only courses leverage our extensive knowledge and content library created by the best avalanche educators in the business. These courses are built to help you establish and fortify a foundation of lifelong learning about snow safety and backcountry travel.
Remember, there is no substitute for in-person field classes. However, we want to offer you accessible and affordable educational opportunities. If you are new to backcountry travel, start with our Avalanche Fundamental course. If you have already taken your Avalanche Level 1 or Level 2 course, we are offering an online refresher course for each level. In addition, our full in-person course offerings can be found here.
