About our FREE PROGRAMS!
During the 2009-2010 season, AAS received the State of Alaska, Reach and Teach Grant. This grant is geared towards educating the general public as to avalanche avoidance, recognition, and hazard evaluation and awareness. The funding received goes directly into putting on FREE PROGRAMS to the general public.
Through this Grant we’re able to offer 2 part programs. These programs consist of a 4 hour indoor Avalanche Awareness Lecture, and a 4 hour outdoor Avalanche Field Workshop.
Check below or the Schedule Page for programs in your area and join AAS in an great experience and education that will aid you in your backcountry travels for years to come!
